well, technically it was yesterday as its 2:11 am where im at. i went out of town with the wife to go visit her friend and i went to some antique stores i dont usually get to go to. im always looking for razors but every once in a while you find something else that catches your eye. there was a case with a few straights that i wanted to look at (over priced) and i looked down and say "Parker" when i saw $35 and couldnt not look excited. while the lady grabbed it for me she also pulled out another parker set which i saw was a "51" and right next to it was another $35 price tag. so what caught my eye initially was the "21" desk set with the shipper which seemed like a no brainer and the "51" was a bonus. the bladder on the "21" looked perfect and the bladder on the "51" is also great just needs to be cleaned.
the "21" set seems to be missing a box because there is that empty space and the box doesnt close right because pen holder on the marbe slap sticks up too far. my assumption is that the pen holder (no idea what its called) came in a box that would fit in that space but the previous owner put it together and the tossed the box???? anyone else know? well, enjoy all of the pictures. also, im not sure if you can tell but the "51" is a burgundy color
