Conklin Mark Twain

Establishing the Conklin Pen Company as a leader in American writing instruments, the Crescent Filler became one of the signature pens of the Conklin brand and changed the industry forever. Founder Roy Conklin of Toledo, Ohio, patented the design for the first self-filling pen in 1897, causing his company to flourish and winning the approval of author Mark Twain, who became the official spokesperson for the Conklin brand. Four resin finishes honor Conklin's history and include Black Chase, Ivory, Peanut Butter and Vintage Green, all with rose gold, gold or silver finishes. The fountain pens use Conklin's pioneering original design, which still works as effortlessly as it did a century ago. Each pen is engraved with Mark Twain's signature along the band and features the original Conklin spring-loaded rocker clip patented in 1916, which is the perfect addition to any pocket, jacket or coat. The pens can be fitted with any of the five signature steel cushion tips, available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and 1.1 mm sizes. This famous collection has it all, from the elegant finishes to the nibs to match your handwriting.
