I knew it was dangerous going to the antique store this morning. Pens galore! I managed to come home with "only" two pens, one of which was the pictured 51. Yay!
But then two 45's arrived in the mail. What is happening to me?! I think I may have a problem.
The "51" is an Aerometric 12K GF cap, brassing on the arrow, scuffed cap and plastic, one of the nib tines was slightly bent and it was full of dried up ink gunk. But after adjusting and extensive flushing...
It writes!
Not surprisingly, it does so better than the Hero I posted about, though it still may need some tuning.
It is rough looking, sure, but I like it and it is mine. Now to date it. It has an "8" next to made in USA. Can't tell if the filler cage is steel or aluminum but leaning towards the latter.
