Conklin Mark Twain Crescent Collection Brass Chased Fountain Pens

The Conklin Mark Twain Crescent Collection Brass Chased Limited Edition Fountain Pen brings one of Conklin’s most historic designs to life in substantial solid brass, combining vintage-inspired detailing with the distinctive filling system that helped establish the Conklin name.

The pen’s brass construction gives the Mark Twain Crescent Filler a warm golden tone and a satisfying sense of weight in the hand. A finely chased pattern decorates the cap and barrel, adding texture and visual interest while emphasizing the collection’s classic character. Coordinating brass trim completes the look for a richly traditional finish.

At the heart of the design is Conklin’s signature Crescent Filler system, originally patented in the late 19th century. To fill the pen, rotate the locking ring until the opening aligns with the crescent, then press the crescent-shaped lever to compress the internal ink sac. Releasing the crescent while the nib is submerged in bottled fountain pen ink draws ink into the pen. The locking ring can then be rotated back into place to help prevent accidental activation.

The collection also celebrates Conklin’s historic connection to author Mark Twain, who famously endorsed the Crescent Filler in the early 1900s. The pen incorporates traditional Mark Twain Crescent design details, including the distinctive spring-loaded rocker clip and Mark Twain signature detailing.

A stainless steel JoWo fountain pen nib completes the writing experience, with multiple nib sizes available so writers can choose the line width and character that best suits their handwriting.

Individually numbered and limited to just 1,898 fountain pens, the Conklin Mark Twain Crescent Brass Chased Limited Edition combines American penmaking history, substantial brass construction, and one of the most recognizable filling mechanisms in fountain pen design.
