Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this vibrant Circa 1926 Conklin Senior Endura Sapphire Blue Celluloid Fountain Pen with the inlaid Red bands. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and now is in great writing condition. I do not see any flaws in this pen, the gold-filled trim displays no wear and the imprint is clean - it is near mint/mint condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB and feed. I have hand-cleaned the outside and inside of the cap and barrel. Replaced the old rubber sac with a new rubber sac. Hand polished the Conklin Gold Filled Clip, Smooth Cap Banding, and 14K Conklin Endura NIB. I have cleaned, buffed, and polished the barrel and cap to bring back the vibrancy of the fountain pen and to protect the celluloid. This Conklin Endura is a Senior size that measures 5 1/4" capped and 6 3/4" posted.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in gorgeous condition with no chips, cracks or repairs with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The sapphire blue celluloid color on this pen is very vibrant and consistent from the cap to the barrel - this is probably the best color I have ever seen on this model since I have been collecting. The cap has the Gold Filled Conklin Clip with PAT May 28, 1918, stamped on it and displaying no wear. The cap banding has the single Gold Filled Cap Banding, again with no wear.  The trim on this pen is mint/perfect with no wear and is a real treat to see. The barrel is clearly stamped with, "Trade CONKLIN Mark TOLEDO OHIO U.S.A. ENDURA". The clip is stamped with "CONKLIN MAY-28-1918". The lever is stamped with, "CONKLIN". I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills as it should. The Filling System works great and operates as it was intended to.

This Conklin Endura has a Huge 14K Conklin Endura Nib. The actual iridium tip on this Endura Nib has a medium point measuring roughly .72mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a fine to a medium stroke/line. In the writing sample provided, the fine line measures at .45mm and will range to a medium stroke measuring at .68mm with medium to firm pressure when I measured with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was performed by dipping the Nib in Parker Blue Ink.

This Conklin Senior Endura Fountain Pen in the Sapphire Blue celluloid is a true specimen to hold. The trim is perfect and the coloring is extremely vibrant, such a gorgeous writing instrument. I would grade the pen in Near Mint to Mint condition - I just do not see any flaw on this pen. It is ready to write with or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
