Product Description
Type Crescent filling vintage fountain pen in working condition
Product Name Conklin Crescent. Slip cap, not threaded, which is a little unusual.
Manufacturer and Year Conklin, Toledo Ohio - circa 1920s
Length 4-1/8" long, excluding ringtop hardware.
Filling System Crescent filling system. We've replaced the bladder and it works great. (We'll guarantee the filling system for a year.)
Color Gold plated overlay over black hard rubber with gold plated crescent. The surface has a pattern of grouped lines.
Nib FINE 14k #2 Conklin Toledo. It's smooth and has great flexibility - see our writing sample in the pictures.
Condition Excellent condition. There are very small scratches and pinpoint indents in surface of the overlay. There is brassing around the edges of the barrel and cap ends. There is some scratching and a couple of small tool marks on the nib, which do not affect the pen's performance. The section has two bite marks. There is a shallow dent on the barrel, and we have included a close-up shot of this area in the photos. The lock ring has small spots of brassing. There's a spot of plating wear on the top edge of the crescent. The cap is personalized with "V. Storm" (??). It's restored, working very well.
