Parker 51 Aero With Diamonds Around The Body?

[ThomasB]

Saw this while perusing ebay...It appears the diamond shapes go around the body...Anyone ever seen this? I have seen a similar diamond shape on liquid lead (LL) pencils, but never on a pen before.

Is it actually a 51? Because in addition to the diamond pattern on the barrel, the cap finial seems, well, odd....

That's a cap to a different pen in the background

Ah, good point. I'm a little fuzzy this morning....

Is it a Cartridge 51 barrel? That seems like it might make sense—search for "diamond" on the linked page.

Yes, should be a cartridge/converter pen.

So who is bidding and how much?

I once had a cordovan brown desk 51 with a blue diamond on the barrel. I believe there was only a single blue diamond on the barrel. Just hunted for it. Found the taper, but not the barrel. Will keep looking.

 

doggle2, Thank you for the link.

I put a bid in but was way off. It sold in a grouping of pens for $192 with the other pens being 3 skylines for parts.

I am seeing the diamond on the barrel of a P51 for the first time.

Right, single diamond only:

Excellent!

 

To my untrained eye, they look much the same inside? Did the diamond signify anything, or was it pure decoration?

 

Thanks.
