AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000003637
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, with a clean and well-maintained aesthetics. The body and cap are made of marbled clear acrylic resin in black and amber tones, with a visually attractive pattern that remains bright and well defined. The surface retains excellent gloss and only shows light signs of use typical of a piece that has been handled normally, with no cracks, breaks, or deformations.
The gold-finish metal elements — clip, rings, and decorative details — are in very good condition, maintaining a uniform tone and an elegant aesthetic presence. The clip perfectly preserves the engraving “PAT. NOV. 12. 1925,” clearly legible with very good relief.
The lever-filler mechanism via lateral lever works correctly, smoothly and firmly operating the filling system, preserving the characteristic functionality of this classic filling system.
The thread between the body and cap is in good condition, ensuring a precise closure.
The nib, engraved “Conklin Toledo,” is well preserved, with no deformities or visible structural damage. It maintains its proper alignment and a clean appearance, showing only the micro-signs of very moderate use.
The pen has been inspected and is delivered in full working order and ready to write.
Overall, it is a very well-preserved specimen that retains the classic character and vintage aesthetics typical of Conklin fountain pens.
It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Happy bidding!
