Product Name Conklin Crescent 50 (previously called model S5).
Manufacturer and Year Conklin, Toledo Ohio, 1910s

Filling System Crescent filler. We've restored it and it works great. (We'll guarantee the filling system for a year.)
Color Black chased hard rubber with wavy lines and gold plated trim. Wide (1/2") cap band. Short gold clip.
Nib Gold Conklin Toledo #5 nib. Fine, with good flex. Very responsive (see writing sample below). Good tipping material in evidence.
Condition Superior condition with no cracks. There are some horizontal lines at the top of the barrel (from capping). Otherwise, the barrel has just some light scratching. The crescent is in excellent condition as is the imprint below it, near the end of the pen. The imprint on the barrel is worn although part of it is readable. The cap looks perfect with no cracks. The cap ring is gorgeous. The clip is excellent and the imprint on it is clear.
