Pen Parker 61

Like most pen companies, Parker worked for decades to find the perfect filling system, and when Parker "61" was finally launched in 1956 AD, it was truly a pen from another world. It shared many features with the dominant Parker "51," but it was thinner, cooler, and most importantly, it filled itself automatically. No one really knew how it worked, but it did. The amazing filling method of the Parker 61 Nib: Ink reservoir filling system that was not filled by inserting the nib into the ink and filling by pressing the tube, as in other Parker editions. Doman, the legendary designer who designed the exterior of the Parker "61," invented a system that included holes designed to hold ink through capillary attraction. A newspaper was wrapped inside a Teflon-coated metal tube with three holes at its end, designed to be inserted into an ink bottle with the pen's tip facing up without staining the tip with ink. Then, capillary force would literally draw the ink into the pen. Just place the tube in the ink for about thirty seconds, and it becomes ready. The Parker 61 is considered the first Parker pen designed with an ink reservoir filling system based on capillary force. Features: Pen body: Entirely made of metal. Type of pen: (Nib).
