Our local Retirement Community has a large flea mkt./yard sale every year and I didn't really feel like going this year, but the lure of a pen or paper or god-knows what got me up and out by the time they started. As you can see it is a Burgundy MkII P51. Two Bucks.
Also got a Sheaffer School pen for a buck, 500 sheets of Permacopy for a buck and a 50 cent dip pen for the wife.
The 51 writes like a 51 should-SMOOTH. Just an overnight soak and it joined the rotation with some Noodlers Rome is Burning.

Peace and Love

Another reason why I think the 51 is the best fountain pen, and for the money as well.

Just an overnight soak, boy are you lucky.
What ink was in the pen? I have had 51 take up to 3 weeks to clean of red or purple ink.
