Conklin All American Fountain Pens
About the Conklin All American
The Conklin All American fountain pen was created during the 1930s, at the dawn of the Great Depression at an affordable price. The All American came in a variety of sizes, finishes and filling mechanisms. It was and still is a quality writing instrument at an affordable price.
The Conklin All American fountain pen comes with a cartridge/converter fill mechanism and a highly polished gold trim. The All American is large but not uncomfortable in the hand. The cap and barrel are tapered for perfect balance.
The Conklin All American fountain pen comes in finishes that pay homage the classic designs of the vintage Conklin All American. The Yellowstone finish with its yellow, brown and white resin, the bright sunburst orange and the classic tortoiseshell.
The Conklin All American fountain pen is great for those who want a larger pen but want to stay true to the classic design of the original Conklin pens.

And of course, we have the Conklin All American Fountain Pen. This is the tortoise shell version of the pen, pretty basic design and shape. It comes with a gold colored clip. It's a spring actuated clip. You push the top section of the clip. It opens up nice and wide. It makes it real easy to get into your pocket. Nice design there. It has the Conklin logo embossed, or engraved into the clip, and on the barrel of the pen is also engraved the Conklin logo, Toledo, USA, and All American.
The cap on the pen is threaded and unscrews. You can post the cap. This is a larger pen so you can write without the cap posted. No problems there, whichever you would prefer. I think I prefer without the cap because it is a larger pen.
You can see the two tone stainless steel nib with the Conklin logo in gold, Toledo, USA, on there as well. To change the ink on the pen you unscrew that grip section from the barrel and one ink converter is included with the pen. You can change that out if you want to use cartridges, whichever you'd prefer with this pen.
Great looking new fountain pen from Conklin. I really like the design look of them. All three colors look great. Get your Conklin All American Fountain Pen at PenChalet.com!

Conklin All American Video Script
This is the Conklin All American Fountain Pen. It comes in the traditional Conklin blue faux leather box with the Conklin logo embossed in gold on the top of the box lid, which lifts open. The interior of the box is a satin finish. On the underside of the box lid, we have the Conklin logo embossed once again in gold. Included with the pen is two standard universal ink cartridges. It also can use bottled inks with the ink converter that's included with the pen.And of course, we have the Conklin All American Fountain Pen.

Wonderful pen. Has a nice hefty weight to it. Got this with the omniflex nib and it writes like a dream. The pen itself is absolutely beautiful! This is my third Conklin All American and I’m definitely planning on adding more to my collection.

I picked up the Conklin All-American because I've enjoyed my Duragraph and because I wanted to give Conklin's Omniflex nib a try. I have been overall very pleasantly surprised with this pen. It's beefy but not terribly long, has a nice heft to it, and an elegant, understated look.
THE GOOD
I know many people have had trouble with the omniflex, and I certainly wouldn't try and minimize their difficulties, but in my case it's been a very nice nib. The feed is very wet as one would expect with such a thirsty writer. I've never had the nib run dry. And while this is certainly not a vintage wet noodle nib, I can get a good amount of line variation out of it. And since I try to write very lightly already, I find I can use this as a daily writer without difficulty.
I also really like the Conklin spring clip. I can see why the company patented it. It's so handy and simple that I find myself attempting to squeeze the tops of some of my other pens when clipping them! I especially wish my Duragraph had this style clip. Not sure why they haven't added it to that line as well.
THE NOT-SO-GOOD
The above said, I do have a few very minor issues with the pen. First is that the cast "Conklin" logo on the clip and the engraved markings on the barrel are flipped 180 degrees from one another when the pen is capped. If you can read one the other is upside down. I suppose it means they read together when the pen is posted, but it's going to spend more of it's time capped and it makes more sense to me to have them read correctly that way.
Another is that the nib unit in mine is installed in such a way that the nib doesn't align with the barrel engraving. It's almost 90 degrees off which seems a bit sloppy. I know I can fix it, I just wish I didn't have to. As to the nib itself, my only quibble would be that I wish the tipping was ground smaller. It's basically ground as a medium nib and I wish it was a fine.
Finally, if you tighten the cap fully (clip and engraving aligned) it really locks on the barrel. I expect this will do an excellent job keeping the nib from drying out, but it can be quite a push to loosen. I've been worried I'll bend or snap the clip a couple of times.
Certainly, these aren't major issues and don't really detract from the usability but I would expect a bit better finish in a nominally $95 pen. Still, this is an excellent writer and I'm quite happy with my purchase (expecially since I got it for about 50% off! :-) )

I’ve been a fan of the Conklin All-American for some time now, this one is my 3rd. I especially like the shape, size, and smooth lines. I expected the brown to be a different shade, and there to be a bit more turquoise, however that doesn’t detract from the pen. I find that this is a relatively common experience when making a purchase based on an image on a screen alone. Finally, I was pleasantly surprised to find, especially for the price, that this is a limited edition numbered pen.

Great customer service. The nib that came with the pen was scratchy and skipped. Pen Chalet took care of it right away by sending me a replacement nib, which is working great. I really appreciate the speed and ease of working with their customer service department.

IMHO I think these pens are one of the best values there is. Slightly oversize, very comfortable in the hand. Excellent writers, I have several of them and have not had to do any nib tuning at all. I love these pens.

Nice solid body, it's a pretty thick pen. The clip is attached to a spring or something so you can actually press one side to open it. I really love that detail
The color is slightly more muted than I expected but I still love it the details are pretty intricate.
The threads are fantastic and smooth
Included Conklin converter actually screws into the body. I've read it can fit international standard but I haven't tried that yet.
I dont post this pen. Without post it's pretty balanced has some nice girth. But posted it'd be too heavy.
I got the medium nib it wrote smoothly but it was very very wet so I swapped it out with a #6.
Feeder looks to be the same as any other jin hao pen surprisingly. I couldn't find any spare Conklin converters to buy online
If I bought again I'd probably buy fla fine nib price is pretty high for this pen I'd probably save for a Vanishing point but I got this at an unbeatable price so I'm very pleased with the pen and it's aesthetic.

Very happy with the All American. The pen is on the large side, which suits me well. Well balanced, and very comfortable to use for long writing sessions. Seems well constructed and durable as well. This was my first purchase from Pen Chalet, and the experience was very positive.
