CO024: Conklin Endurac Symetrik.

Date: c1930

Size: Length - 4 1/2 inches capped; 5 1/2 inches posted.

This typically late 1920s to early 1930s pen still has beautiful colour with no noticeable darkening that you usually find.  It is in excellent condition with no damage at all that I can see.  The cap and barrel are glossy with no noticeable scratches or other blemishes and the gold filled trim is all bright and shiny with no brassing or wear.  The cap end is tapered with a gold filled boss and gold filled chatelaine / watch chain ring.  Just below this is the Conklin trademark golden crescent.  Below the crescent and near the cap lip ar etwo gold filled bands.  The barrel has an excellent crisp and sharp imprint, and opposite that the stumpy little filling lever bears a patent date of 1925. It has a circular end tab with the Conklin crescent symbol imprinted.  The nib is a shiny and undamaged Conklin Endura in 14 carat gold with a crescent-shaped breather hole.

I have fully serviced this pen.  It fills nicely, and holds more ink than it looks.  The nib is very smooth in action.  It is an extra-fine point and has slight softness which will produce a tiny bit of understated line width variation with a little extra writing pressure.  

I very rarely get Conklins, and this one is a real beauty.
