Conklin Endura – Semi Flex – (On Ebay)
Had to recruit some help to identify this one. It is an uncommon Conklin Endura likely produced shortly after the move to Chicago in 1938. This was probably one of the last decent quality pens produced by Conklin before things really took a down turn. The pen feels solid and well made. It still has the quality “spring clip” on the cap. The gold filled trim on the pen is all in great condition. The nib does not have the Conklin name, but I’m told that it was probably still original to this pen. It’s a decent, smooth writing Fine. Overall, the pen is in superb condition. Free Gift: From now until Christmas, everyone one of my buyers gets a free 2ml sample of Pilot Iroshizuku ink!
