Hi all,
These pens have all been restored inside and out, and are ready to
fill with ink and write.
If you see one or more pens that you like, please E-mail me at:
michael@northwestpenworks.com
If you intend to make a purchase, please read "Rules, shipping,
etcetera" at the bottom of this post.
Pen #1. Parker 51 with one of my custom hand hammered and antiqued
sterling caps and India Black barrel. The barrel is a Vacumatic fill,
date coded "T6". The nib is a smooth writing Extra Fine 14K and it has
nice ink flow. I only do a few 51's a year with the hammered caps. It
is a recycling project for me. I use damaged 51 caps that cannot be
saved any other way. The cap on this pen had a lot of plating loss,
deep dents, gouges and scratches, which I removed before I started the
hammering process.
Price $295.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping
see "Rules, Shipping, Etc." below.

2. Parker 51 with custom barrel and shell, made by Ariel Kullock, in
brown and black ripple hard rubber (ebonite) with gold filled cap. The
cap and clip have no brassing or scratches. The cap does have a slight
bump from the inside out, on one side, about the size of a pinhead.
The clip has the original paint in the blue diamond. The pattern on
the cap is solid continuous longitudinal lines. The filler has an over
the end squeeze spring Aerometric filler. The nib is one that I bought
out of England. It is a smooth writing Medium 14K and has very good
flow. I bought another brown and black ripple shell set from Ariel and
Michelle earlier in the year. I liked the ripple so much that I wanted
a few more to build some custom 51's. I e-mailed Michelle and ask how
many they had left and she told me this was the last one in stock.
Anyway, it has a pretty high cool factor and is a very attractive pen.
One reason I like these is that hard rubber is warm to the touch and I
like P51's, so it's a great combination, IMHO.
Price reduced to $275.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping

3. 1950 Parker 51 Aerometric in Teal Blue with solid line gold filled
cap. This is a full length 51. The cap has a couple of little shallow
bump marks and a bit of brassing on the center ridge of the clip at
the top. Also the imprint is light. The old time repairmen had no clue
that imprints would hold some importance to some collectors in the
future. The ink sac cover tube is one of the full length stainless
kind with a black plastic cap on the end. The ink sac has light
discoloration, but is much better than average. I forgot to take a
shot of the pen with the cap off, but you know what they look like,
right? I nearly completely disassembled the pen, the nib, feed,
collector, nib shell have been cleaned and the breather tube
inspected. I think it the pen is probably good to go for another 63
years!
Price $150.00 shipping included in the U.S. Foreign shipping

~stating intent to purchase~ gets the item. I will give you 5 days to
decide if you like the pen or not. I prefer payment by PayPal but also
accept checks or money orders in USD. I can only accept payment by
PayPal from countries outside the U.S. I ship worldwide, so
international customers are always welcome.

number and insurance. I normally ship inside the U.S. by U.S.
Postal Service Priority Mail. I can also ship to other countries by
Priority Mail, but I prefer to ship by Express International Mail. I
have to charge by Express International Mail, depending on which
country the item will be sent to, but it can be insured and can
usually be tracked online.
Return Policy: I will always allow pens, or other items, to be
returned. f there is a problem I would prefer the chance to fix the problem
or replace the item, when and if possible. Otherwise a full refund
