Product Description
Type Crescent filling vintage fountain pen in great condition with a fully flexible nib.
Product Name Crescent, Model 20 (the imprint reads "Trade Mark 20" at the end of the barrel).
Manufacturer and Year Conklin, made in USA -- 1920s.
Length 5-7/16".
Filling System Crescent filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Black chased hard rubber with gold filled clip and crescent.
Nib FLEXiblE FINE Conklin #2 Toledo gold nib is very smooth with nice tipping. The tines spread very easily for strong line variation. The tines have a bit of a wrinkle to them as well, but it does not affect writing. See our writing sample below.
Condition Excellent + condition. The chasing pattern has held up well and the locking mechanism beneath the crescent moves easily. The barrel imprints show a little wear but are easily read. The clip has a deep nick on the lower right side near the tip. The hard rubber is excellent except for a scratch on the cap that is difficult to notice though because of the sticker. The cap has its original sticker. The hard rubber has some discoloration as can be seen when uncapped but the always exposed parts of the hard rubber are all the same color. It's fully restored and working well.
