Vintage Conklin Endura fountain pen:
$120.00

This vintage Conkin Endura was made in Toledo, Ohio by the original Conklin company in the 1930s. It features the streamlined design of this premium penmaker\'s Symetrik line. The pen is 5 1/8\" long, the standard size. It has a lever filling system and a 14-carat gold Conklin nib. The pen has been completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, serviced (including new rubber ink sac), reassembled, adjusted, and gently polished by hand to an elegant glossy finish. The maker\'s mark is fully intact. There are no personalizations. There are no chips or scratches, only a few tiny bite marks that have been mostly reversed and smoothed. The clip and cap bands have some gold plating loss, but most of the plating is intact. The filling lever has no plating loss, but there are two small cracks above the axle that it turns on (see photos). The lever works well and the cracks have been reinforced and are stable. With gentle use, this should not be a problem. The nib is in great shape, with more than enough tipping material and no cracks or signs of modification. It writes smoothly and wet without blotting or skipping (see writing sample photo). The cap fits well and the threads are tight. Overall, it is a beautiful and functional pen going on a hundred years old. Please look closely at the photos and ask questions for more information.
