PARKER 61 Fountain Pen BLACK 12k GF CAP w/Capillary System 1960's USA - SERVICED

A word or two about the Parker 61 Capillary Filling System. If you are not familiar with this unique design, you should read this:

Here is how you fill a Parker 61, and an insight into how the pen actually works. Unscrew the barrel and stick the back end of the pen (aka the capillary cell) into a bottle of ink. Wait a few minutes (probably more like a half hour when you first start one of these older used ones), and let the ink wick up into the capillary cell.

The cell contains a sheet of perforated plastic that has been given a 3-D pattern resembling tire tread, and rolled up. The perforations allow ink to seep between the rolled-up layers, and the tread pattern maintains space between the layers. In the middle of this tube, which runs the entire length of the capillary cell, is the feed. The end of the barrel contains a spring-loaded thingey which covers the open end of the capillary tube, but still allows it to vent.
