    Default Nassau Green Parker 51 listing?

    Wow,
    Was this a Nassau green new in box with stickers that passed me by?

    Not a huge fan of the color but that was a choice deal if it is Nassau green. What do you guys think?

    The vast majority of Nassau will be double jewel, come with a split arrow clip, a fancier cap, and be paired with a pencil of the earlier style. Hard to tell color...Probably is Teal I think that single jewel Nassau pens exist, as some odd export model. Never seen one and doubt that this is one. If stickered, seems like a decent price, whatever the color. BTW, all Nassau will be Vac fill.

    OK. Good to know. The fomo is a bit less then because it is an aero.

    Sounds like the ever hopeful "Is this a plum?" question. They're usually generated when the color balance of the camera was off, so the pen looks more purple than burgundy. In this case I think that the color balance is off, so the teal looks more green than it should. Everything is wrong for it to be a Nassau.

    It was Forest Green, judging from the aerometric cap, the matching push-cap aerometric pencil, and the later aerometric-style case. Of course, it might have been an aerometric Teal, as the advertising caption says, and if the photo-lighting mangled the color.

    Teal blue + incandescent light = green pen?
