Conklin

With a glorious 120-year heritage, The Conklin Pen Company remains true to the innovative spirit of founder Roy Conklin, who started the company in Toledo, Ohio, USA, in 1898. The company quickly became known worldwide thanks to Conklin's first practical self-filling mechanism, the "Crescent Filler. The mechanism, in which a crescent is pushed out of the pen to activate the internal pressure bar, received praise from celebrities such as author Mark Twain, who considered it a boon because of its stability. The Conklin Mark Twain signature series retains the Crescent filling mechanism and is just one part of Conklin's diverse collection of fountain pens, ballpoints and rollerballs. Known for their vibrant resin finishes, Conklin remains synonymous with quality and innovation in the world of writing instruments.
