PEN RESURRECTION SUNDAY Episode #13 - 1948 Parker 51 Vacumatic

Merry Christmas! And it is Sunday again! Time for another Pen Resurrection! Today's vintage pen is a 1948 Parker 51 Vacumatic. I bought the pen at an antique dealer last August and it has taken me this long to collect the supplies, tools, and know-how to restore it! I talk about the pen's history, parts, and features, provide some size comparisons and measurements, and then do a writing sample.
