  • I have an old one of these. A great classic fountain pen. A shame they're now using cartridges rather than an internal bladder.

    • You can get a converter but yeah cartridges are both a waste and far fewer ink options. The cartridge inks are good quality though.

        I tried converters for a different pen and disliked them (personal preference).

        Good ink versus bad ink: I always went with a bottle of Quink. I'm not sure how that rates but I was always happy with it.

        I've not used my fountain pen for a while. Time to get it out now! 😀

        • the bottle of Quink is the same as the cartridges. Solid ink with great flow but inoffensive.

      • Refill a cartridge with a blunt tip syringe

      • What about this converter
        https://shorturl.at/kqwPV

        • doesn't seem like a genuine converter as the tip is transparent but the original one is black

      I have two vintage 51's - a Vacumatic from 1947 and a mid-50's Aerometric that used to belong to my Mum. Both are excellent pens, but I'm keen to see what the modern interpretation of these are like

      • the new one will bring disappointment

  • +1

    I love a good pen. These are nice, thanks OP

  • Do people still use fountain pens nowadays?

    • +4

      There's dozens of us!

      • +11

        DOZENS!

        • +3

          So many people will never know the pleasure of finding the right paper, pen (and nib size) and ink combo.

          It’s a shame :(

          • @Larsson: Cries missing my old Parker pen/ink/page combo. Surprised they don't come with "internal bladder".

    • +1

      Yes! How else can you try out all those pretty inks?

      (I said that out loud, didn't I…)

  • Be cheaper if walking and buying in the shop?

  • +1

    "Sell me this pen."

    • +1

      Are you traumatised from a past job interview by this question?

    • err uhh well you know… the things about this pen… uhh, its a really good pen

    • read this review:

      https://www.pencilcaseblog.com/2021/12/review-new-parker-51-…

      Return to this deal and decide if it's worth it.

    • Write your name.
      Can I have the pen back?
      No, But I'll sell it to you…

    Fountain pens are no good for us left handers. I had to use one for school and swear it caused my shocking hand writing to this day. There were none of those 90 degree hook nibs in those days

    • Have you tried bladder paper? I think Reddit had some good advice for left handed fountain pen lovers.

  • +1

    Ah the nostalgia. I can’t look at this pen without seeing an ink stain alongside it. Ink inside the cap, on the smooth grip area, and inevitably in the pencil case / shirt pocket / wherever.

    Maybe there’s a Rorschach test somewhere that can help me get to the bottom of this

  • +1

    Thanks, ordered. Already have around 10 found pens, but always wanted a Parker 51 with hooded nib.

  • +1

    I'm such a hipster I'm using quills.

    • Hahaha we have a quill and ink as well. To try learn calligraphy

  • +1

    OOS

    • All of the pens are currently available, except for the green one.

  • Gen Z: How do I use this on my iPad?

  • Good for tax deduction

    Back in stock, grabbed myself one. Thanks OP

    Huge fan of vintage 51's. Very disappointed at the modern re-release in that they essentially re-used a Jotter nib and couldn't even pull off a real hooded nib design.

    At release it is overpriced and a sad reflection of the original; however, $69 is much more palatable and worthy of giving it a chance. Thanks OP!

  • +1

    This is a Lamy 2000 style pen for a fraction of the cost. Good deal. But I'll passiton for now as I have enough.
    Green is back in stock

    • Green Sold out now

    • +1

      They’re both fountain pens, sure, but the Lamy 2000 has a gold nib, this doesn’t. It’s not comparable.

      • Yeah true . It's more design wise with hidden nib

  • +1

    Got one just now. It just doesn't stand against the parker Standard. Too unpleasant to write with. Returning.

    • +1

      I'm still waiting for mine and am disappointed to hear it's not satisfactory.

  • Arrived in the mail and found it came with converter. It didn’t come with any cartridges. Is that how everyone received theirs?
