Rare Find: 1940’s Parker 51 Demi Pen and Pencil Set with14K gold filled cap (only 2 years in production)
Parker 51 Demi Fountain Pen andPencil Set. Both with burgundy body and14K gold filled cap. Fountain pen with originalhooded gold nib. Size appears to be F or M (closer to F in my view).
In 1947 Parker introduced a Demi versionof Parker “51” advertised for women. The Demi has shorter barrel and aspecially designed Demi cap which has same diameter as regular “51” but of a shorterlength to give the pen a balanced look. Otherthan that, all other components were identical to a regular “51”. Demi wasonly in production from 1947-1948, which made it quite rare.
