Vintage Pens: Conklin Endura

Description

Hailing from the 1920s is this attractive Conklin Endura ringtop. Designed to be worn on a necklace or watch fob, these vintage pens were the original go-anywhere pens. You can still see some of the orange paint trim in the grooves of the cap and barrel. It is in good shape for a daily user. It isn’t difficult to see some dents in the golden crown of the ringtopper. A hairline crack slips from the lip of the cap to just under the cap band. No brassing. Light overall wear. The section is black hard rubber with a little chocolate hazing. Look through the gallery to see some close-ups of this Conklin Endura. Notice the imprint is still fairly strong, except for the top of the word Conklin. You’ll write a wet, fine line with its 14k gold nib. There is a touch of feedback and a teeny bit of flex if you are very gentle and slow. 11.2cm capped.
