Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this scarce Circa 1925 Conklin Senior Endura Jet Black Hard Rubber with Red Bands Fountain Pen. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and is now in fantastic writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the NIB and feed. I have hand-cleaned the outside and inside of the cap and barrel with mineral oil. Replaced the old rubber sac with a new, 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 hard rubber. This Conklin Endura is a Senior size that measures 5 3/8" capped and 6 7/8" posted.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in great condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The black hard rubber color on this pen is excellent displaying a deep black coloring. The cap has the Gold Filled Conklin PAT May 28, 1918, Clip with the Smooth Gold Filled Cap Banding. The clip displays just a very minor bit of wear at the very top right side and lower right side - it is very light but is there. The cap banding displays no wear. The barrel is clearly stamped with, "Trade CONKLIN Mark TOLEDO OHIO U.S.A. ENDURA". The lever filler is stamped with "PAT NOV. 17, 1925". I have tested the Lever filling mechanism with water and fills as it should.

This Conklin Endura has a 14K Conklin Endura Nib. The actual iridium tip on this Endura Nib has a medium point measuring roughly .70mm 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 .46mm and will flex to a medium stroke measuring at .88mm with medium to firm pressure when measuring with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample used Montblanc Blue Ink by dipping the NIB ink.

This is one of those vintage Conklin Senior Endura Fountain Pens you don't always get a chance to secure in your collection. The Conklin Black Hard Rubber is difficult to acquire and should be in a deserving collection. I consider this Conkin Senior Endura Fountain Pen is in Excellent Condition and would be in Mint if there were not those two minor wear marks on the clip. This Conklin is ready to write if you choose to do so, or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
