Conklin Identification Help Please!


Cheeseandbacon

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I have recently come across this fabulous looking fountain pen. However i am not having much luck in researching its history / identifying / valuing this pen. This seems to be a early / rare Conklin. My trail so far: The pen is stamped The Crescent Pen, but after looking at Conklin Crescent Pens on Google and Ebay this didn't seem right. Spotted a similar finish on a All American reptilian however there is no plunger. So this has pushed me down the endura route, but now I'm back the the start scratching my head.

 

Can anyone help!!??

 

I am looking to sell this pen on in the near future, so your community wealth of knowledge would be most helpful and i would be most grateful.

 

Many Thanks

 

:rolleyes:

Its not an Endura. Likely Chicago period, but does the nib say 'made in England'? I can't make out the rest. It has an interesting finish, not one I've seen before. Its a lever filler.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
