Purveyors of Fine Writing since 1998. Always 100’s of Pen listings! PARKER 51 Fountain pen RED BAND VACUMATIC BLACK w/desk attachment. Model : 51 Fountain pen Vac with Red Band. Majority of found RED BAND 51s are desk pens, this one is no exception, I had Ron Zorn machine smaller blind cap, so it looks like pocket 51. A bit longer, so you get both. Just add cap if desired. Condition : UNRESTOREDthis filling system very very hard to fix and should be left as is. Body is made out of lucite looks like, beautiful imprint. Some usual lucite discoloration noted. No chips or Cracks. Parker had tried a number of new filling systems, meant to replace the Vacumatic filler and in 1946 an uncommon Parker “51” was introduced, the so called Red Band “51”. It was in most aspects a re-designed button filler. It was fitted with red threads by the filler and it was also advertised as the Red band “51”, as opposed to the Black band “51”, which had the ordinary Vacumatic filler. The early red threads were made from plastic, while later versions had threads made from aluminum. Most surviving Red band pens are India Black, and a few has been found in Dove Grey and Cedar Blue. Red band desk pens are more common than pocket pens. The Red band Parker “51” was very hard to repair and it was discontinued already in 1947, making it much sought for by collectors.
