The history of the fountain pen and in particular one brand and model. The story of the Parker Pen Company and its most significant product ever produced, the Parker 51. Introducing many new design concepts resulting in instant success and record world-wide sales. A pen design that remained in production for over 50 years, dictated the development of other pens, a design now in production again, as the popularity of fountain pens is going through a revival for everyday use and for collectors. A Powerpoint presentation accompanied by physical examples of various pens.
