Product Description
Type Lever-filling fountain pen
Product Name unknown
Manufacturer and Year Spencerian Pen Co./Conklin, late 1920s-early 1930s. The Spencerian Pen Company was established in New York in the late 1850s. From their beginning until the 1920s, they imported and sold steel nibbed (dip) pens from England, suitable for Spencerian script. Sometime after 1925, they began selling Spencerian-branded lever-filling fountain pens, which were made for them by Conklin of Ohio. This pen doesn't have any indication of where it was made, so we can't authoritatively say whether it was made by Spencerian or Conklin.
