Conclin Nozac 5000 Words Vs 7000 Words (Oversize)

[Francisco Pena]

Already had bought a Nozac, had even some difficulty in knowing whether the model was the 5000 or 7000 words.

Recently i found a 5000, as I'm fortunate to have both with the same pattern and color, it is now easy to see the differences.

The length is basically the same as the width is substantially different is that, as the nib. However, the 7000 generally have the nib equal to 5000, only with a different mounting due to the difference in width.

 

It is Conklin not Conclin sory!

I have always thought the red & gray marble was one of the prettier celluloids available. I may have misunderstood your post, but the nib is definitely larger on the 7m (senior) size Nozac than on the 5m (standard) size. The usual length of the 5m is 5 1/4 in. while the 7m is 5 3/8 in. Only a 1/8 in. difference between the two, but that is the way they were originally made.
