Product Description
Type Lever filling vintage fountain pen, fully restored.
Product Name Endura (the imprint is clear on the barrel).
Manufacturer and Year Conklin, Toledo Ohio -- 1920s.
Length 5-3/16", this is the senior size.
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Black and Pearl is black and white with a cracked ice type pattern mix of yellow-white and black. The "pearl" ambers over time and the barrel is much more ambered than the cap.
Nib FINE gold #5 nib marked "Conklin Toledo." The nib has flexibility, giving line variation from fine to broad. Please see our writing sample in the photos below. The tines are not particularly soft, but they flex easily and the nib writes smoothly. Normally this pen would have had an Endura nib, which were rarely if ever flexible, so this is a replacement nib.
Condition Excellent condition. The clip and cap band both have a lot of brassing. The cap band has several dents in it. There is light to moderate scratching on the cap, with some crackling near the top. The barrel imprint is clear. The pearl is heavily ambered. The section has some small tool marks. Light scratching on the barrel. The lever bar has some small spots of plating wear. It's fully restored and working well.
