I picked these up at lunch from the post office.

These are not commonly seen.

A cannot identify the set. It resembles a mix of Parker 51 with the section of a 5th Avenue, what is that?

Best regards

An Admiral? If not, I don't know because i've actually had several of these with the same hood, I sold one of them, and the one I have right now says "Made is USA" on the pen, but nothing else

First one is some sort of early Pilot retractible, or perhaps Namiki.

I don't typically deal with these, though the top pen to me does yelp, "Pilot/Namiki".

The gray set... Aurora?

The black "capless" pen is a Platinum Knock aka Platinum Capless. It was introduced in 1965. The pen did not have a long lifetime because Pilot threatened legal action and the pen was pulled from the market.


The Parker-like pen is what I believe to be a Platinum A-S1 pen that was introduced in 1946. It's a pretty good clone of a 51. The pen looks like a aerometric or plain squeeze filler. I'm still trying to confirm some of he info for this pen.

Does your pen also say Wearever?

Believe these are later than 1946 or they Would pre-date Parker phasing out the Vacumatic filler. A Patent search would possibly provide data.

This is the interesting point.

Platinum themselves date the A-S1 as 1946. However, I am not certain that this pen is an A-S1 nor if it is from 1946. The pen could be a later variant. I need to check with Stan. I've only found a few scant references to this pen in the English literature.

No it does not, but yes, Platinum pens I have several of. I do really like the shape of the hood, but with cheap quality, and not good resale, there isn't much for me to do with it.
