| Point: Medium-stubbish* | Imprint: Exc | Size: 5 1/4" 13.5 cm |
PRICE: $195 |
| COMMENTS: Gorgeous color, relatively uncommon Symmetrik. Standard size but chunky relative to competitors (fatter than Sheaffer Balance Standard for example). Nice medium-point nib with bit of stub quality (thinner cross-strokes) allowing for expressive writing. Nib is slightly later NOZAC era but still a large solid point. Trim has bit of brassing at top and bottom of clip and on part of lower cap ring as can be seen in photo. Color is superb. As is well known, pale pearlescent coors (green is notorious) tend to discolor severely. This one has grand color. Cap closes a bit off-angle but threads smoothly to close firmly. Priced down for brassing and cap angle. | |||

| COMMENTS: Conklin was one of the "Big 5" of American pendom during the "golden age". High quality pens- well able to go head to head against Parker, etc- are well appreciated by today's collectors. This one is the big boy Sharp imprint. Plastic is very clean.No Brassing. Sharp imprint. A lovely big conklin. Dunno if the following is pro or con but here it is... The nib is not "Endura". It is a Conklin nib (Conklin Toledo with diamond symbol beneath), which is well larger than the Endura Senior nib. Dunno if it is a #7 from the old "Crescent" days or what, but it is as i found it. | |||

| COMMENTS:
Conklin was one of the "Big 5" of American pendom during the "golden
age". High quality pens- well able to go head to head against
Parker, etc- are well appreciated by today's collectors. This
one
is a big blue with no fatal flaws. Color is very good with
bit of
darkening noted at the butt end of the pen. A personal name is neatly
stamped in the barrel- not showing of course in the photo above.
This pen is a smidge shorter than some of the other OS's i've
handled. THe trim is quite free of brassing. Imprint is
sound. |

Imprint:
some central weekness |
Size: 5" | PRICE: $100 |
| COMMENTS: Conklin
had a low price point
line, the All American. Some are quite nice. This one is
based on
Conklin's standard sized Endura Symetric, but with different imprints,
a smaller nib appropriate to a less expensive nib, etc. The nib is
marked All American and writes nicely. The pen is clean overall.
Imprint is sharp save for central "made in usa" weakness |
