| The Conklin Pen Company
was established in Toledo,
Ohio in 1898 and is regarded
as one of the most significant
and innovative manufacturers
from the golden era of
fountain pens. Mark Twain
(Samuel Clemens) endorsed
the Conklin Crescent Filler in
1903 and became a
spokesman for the company.
The Conklin Pen Company
flourished in the 20’s, 30’s,
and 40’s but eventually shut
down U.S. operations in 1955.
In 2000 the Conklin brand
was revived by an American
pen enthusiast with
headquarters in New
Jersey.
Classic Conklin patterns such
as the Crescent Filler,
Duragraph (1923), Nozac
(1932), Glider and All
American (1940’s), valued by
collectors worldwide, have
been brought back to life with
modern production techniques
and new and exciting
materials. |
