Parker "51" on Mob City

[nemo]

I was watching the first episode of Mob City, set in 1947, and spotted a pen. I almost missed it -- guy lights a cigarette and then whips out a black "51" and writes on the matchbook cover. Correct pen for the period.

Episode 1, about 7 minutes in. Check it out if you're a Parker fan.

Looks like a gold cap- the pen is a sister of my pen, if it was made in 47

Too bad TNT is already giving up on it. A "51" sighting and a Veg reference? This could have been the official series of B&B!

This article introduced me to a term I didn't know of in TV: the "burn-off"

Lilac Vegetal and a Zippo lighter? A hell of a haul, IMO. "you mean I'm going to stay this color?"
