Parker 51 free giveaway

I seriously considered asking to be included, but I've decided it's best I decline.  The only way this would be a daily driver is if it took the place of my Hero 616 Giant.  And that would mean it would spend time clipped to the outside of my scrub pocket, pulled out of its cap for jotting and returned to the cap when jots are done.  And frankly, that's too rough for so nice a pen.

Thanks a ton for doing this. I am looking at ton of FPs and vintage ones intrigue me but the risk factor gets me.

I've heard so much about Parker 51s but have never had/handled one. Please add my name to the list. Thank you for your kindness and generosity!

Changed my mind, mine is a vacumatic, don't have an aerometric, so put my name in, if I win I will continue the pif with another.  Thanks.

I've never owned a Parker 51.  And I would love the opportunity to do so.  Thanks!  Merry Holidays, all!

Never had a 51. Would love to give it a new home.  As with all pens, I do not sell my pens. Only give them away. If it doesn't fit worth me,  it will reappear here. 

Peace and Understanding

First off, thank you for doing this. I have a 51 Demi (though it's a vac) and I will let someone who doesn't yet have a 51 have this beautiful pen.

Congratulations in advance to whoever the winner is.

@ werter1245 -- Years ago (I was still in college, I think -- or maybe even high school) a local record store by my parents' house had a sweepstakes.  Grand prize was a new stereo.  I didn't win that, but I did get one of the runner-up prizes: a pair of tickets to see the NY Cosmos pro soccer team at the NJ Meadowlands, a soccer ball autographed by the team, and ten free record albums from Warner/Electra/Atlantic (they sent me a catalogue and I could pick whatever I wanted, so I got a lot of albums from their back-list B) -- things I really wanted, but not necessarily current Top-10 ones).  My brother and I went to the soccer game and we had seats very close to the visiting team's goal, and we got to see Pele's 299th and 300th career goals practically in front of us (he was playing for the Cosmos at the time). :thumbup: 

Got rid of the soccer ball long since, but I still have the albums, although at the moment my husband's stereo isn't hooked up.

This is gorgeous, and I've always wanted a Demi cuz I have small hands. I currently only have a varsity, since my break in last year. Please throw my name into the hat? 💙

I am the tarot reading, bookworm, whiskey drinking, witchcraft practicing, old fashioned writing, aunt Beasty in my family and I love it. Tarot readings for sale or trade, especially ink as I've lost all of my pen stuff from a bad burglary last year. And I need penpals! Anyone interested, please PM me!

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast. 
    • Ceilidh
      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
