Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Gorgeous Circa 1929 Conklin Senior Endura Sapphire Blue Celluloid Fountain Pen with the inlaid Red bands. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, and put back together and now is in wonderful writing 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, Double Ring 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 5/8" 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 one of the best colors 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 stamp. Note the cap banding has the double ring cap banding style compared to the one single wide cap banding which means this is a later model (1929).  The trim on this pen is near perfect with maybe a hint of wear on the clip and on the edging of the lever filler - very minor but want to point it out. The barrel is 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 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 .67mm when measured with digital calipers. When writing a sample with this NIB, it writes with a medium to a broad stroke line. In the writing sample provided, the medium line measures at .65mm and will flex to a broad stroke measuring at 1.00mm with medium to firm pressure when I measured with digital calipers. This Nib writes great with a very smooth line. 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 Montblanc Blue Ink.

This Conklin Senior Endura Fountain Pen in the Sapphire Blue celluloid is a true specimen to hold. The trim is great and the coloring is extremely vibrant, such a gorgeous writing instrument. I would grade the pen in Excellent condition - the imprint is a tad light on the barrel where "CONKLIN" is stamped and really the only minor flaw that I notice. It is ready to write with or just add it to your writing arsenal collection.
