Product Name Conklin Nozac Word Gauge, 5M version
Manufacturer and Year Conklin, USA -- Circa 1934.
Length 5-5/16"
Filling System Piston filler. We've restored the filling system and it works great. The piston moves freely.
Color Red and gray marble celluloid with an amber semi-transparent window for the "Word Gauge" system. The barrel is like a graduated cylinder where the tick marks show how many words can be written before the pen runs out of ink. It has gold filled trim and two cap bands, and a black ribbed end piece.
Nib Flexible Fine 14k Conklin nib. It has a crescent breather hole and offers nice line variation. Please see the writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. The barrel has a slight recessed area on the barrel from posting. The clip shows some plating wear and the cap band closer to the lip is a bit crooked and brassed. The imprints are legible and the barrel transparency is strong. The word gauge system is ready to go.
