1910s
Conklin slip cap crescent "S" 4
in red mottled hard rubber. An early
pen in extraordinary condition with good
color and shine, good imprints. The #4
nib will, likely, need retipping as the
iridium on one tine is compromised, but
is so superbly flexible that I decided
not to swap it out. I can do so on request.
Flexible fine nib.
Note: It was called to my attention recently
that even though the cap for this pen
matches the barrel perfectly, the cap
is from a Moore Safety, and sure enough
the patent date on the cap and the pin
inside (which I have not removed) mark
the cap as a Moor. So I am selling this
as either really good parts or a nice
mismatch. |
