Product Name This resembles the so-called "Purse Pens" that we see in "The Conklin Legacy" book.
Manufacturer and Year Conklin, Toledo Ohio, 1926-30
Length 4-1/4" long.
Filling System Lever filler, restored here at Peyton Street Pens.
Color BCHR with gold filled trim. "Double V" chasing pattern.
Nib FINE flexible Conklin Toledo gold nib. Line variation from extra fine to broad, we consider this full flex. The nib has a lot of surface scratches but is working very well. Please see writing sample.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a compact little pen with elegant chasing. The cap and barrel have light scratching, and the chasing pattern is slightly smoothed out but still easily seen. The color is very slightly faded. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. The section looks good. The tiny lever has plating wear on the sides. The cap is a bit lighter in color than the barrel, especially toward the top of the cap. The clip has small touches of brassing around the edges. The imprints are clear.
