Conklin All American Tortoiseshell - Fountain Pen

The Conklin Pen Company was established in 1898 and is still regarded as one of the most significant and innovative manufacturers from what is today known as the Golden Era of Fountain Pens. During the 1930s, at the dawn of the Depression, Conklin launched a collection that was priced more affordably to the general public. The ';All American'; collection was offered in a variety of sizes, filling mechanisms and finishes with the aim of satisfying a growing market demand for good quality, but affordably priced writing instruments. Drawing inspiration from Conklins original models and the rich heritage of the brand, Conklins All American collection brings a vibrant, contemporary style to a timeless oversized, streamlined design. Crafted from hand-made European high-grade resins, the All American is impressively large in size, yet not so big as to be uncomfortable in the hand. The cap and barrel are carefully tapered to provide a perfect balance. The smooth, steel nib is available in 2-tone Fine and Medium widths, and single tone 1.1mm Stub and flexy Omniflex widths, cartridge/converter filling with the converter included. The elegant ball pen is twist activated.
