Conklin 1898 Collection: The Pen Design

The Conklin 1898 Collection features a cap ring with a Conklin original vintage pattern, first used on the company's original self-filling pens produced in 1898. The ring also features the year the legendary Conklin pen company was founded by Roy Conklin in Toledo, Ohio. Together, these elements pay homage to the vintage Conklin era and its extraordinary legacy in the world of writing instruments. Lastly, each pen features Conklin’s distinctive “rocker style” pen clip, designed to offer a smooth clip-on action. These beautiful Conklin 1898 fountain pens are fitted with a 14kt gold #6 Jowo nib (available in varying sizes). Each Cushion Point nib features the Conklin name and the distinctive crescent-shaped breathing hole. Conklin 1898 fountain pens are cartridge converter fountain pens compatible with international standard-size ink cartridges or converters (the pen is equipped with a threaded converter included with your purchase).
