Conklin Endura Deco Crest Demo Blue Pen Collection
I’m a big fan of Conklin pens – both older and newer. Their quality gets better and better with each year that passes. Therefore, I feel like Conklin pens are great everyday workhorses of a pen. As an added bonus, they look beautiful and feel great in the hand. When I saw the new Conklin Endura Deco Crest Demo Blue Pen Collection, I realized how stunning the blue overlay looks contrasting the clear resin underneath.
First of all, I love seeing the “guts” of my pens. Seeing their inner workings is always fun and fascinating. That’s what I love the most about this Conklin Endura Deco Crest Demo Blue Pen Collection. The clear demonstrator resin only adds to the depth of these pens. Strikingly, the blue metal overlay is very vibrant with the rose gold trim.
The Conklin Pen Company was established in 1898 during the golden era of fountain pens, and is still regarded as one of the most prominent pen manufacturers today. Deco, a design era that began in the mid-1920’s, at the height of Conklin’s fountain pen business, was a large influence on the modern art world from architecture to fashion. Conklin pens were no exception, as they were a significant contribution to the creative new age.
Conklin’s new Endura Deco Crest is the ideal revival of that exciting period. Great concepts and innovative ideas will stand the test of time. The Conklin Pen Company of Toledo, Ohio, USA built and earned a reputation of high quality and careful workmanship that made one proud to own a genuine Conklin pen. Unfortunately, the Conklin Pen Company ceased production in 1955. The brand was brought back to life when the company was purchased in 2000. Yafa Pen Company, owner and world-wide distributor of the Conklin brand since 2009, is proud to utilize its 43 years of experience to restore the quality and dedication of the original Conklin Pen Company to produce fine pens that are treasured for generations.
Based on the original models, the Endura has all the aesthetic design features which made the pen such a timeless classic. By combining these two famous models, today Conklin Pen Company is proud to introduce Endura Deco Crest.
Importantly, the Endura Deco Crest is available in all three modes of writing: fountain pen, rollerball, and ballpoint. The fountain pen refills via cartridge/converter filling system. It’s equipped with a smooth, high-quality steel JoWo nib. Choose from: extra fine, fine, medium, broad, stub, and Omniflex.
Similarly, the fountain pen and rollerball use threaded cap and barrel opening mechanisms. In addition, the rollerball refills with Schmidt 888 and 5888 rollerball refills. The ballpoint is equipped with a smooth twist-action retraction mechanism. Refill it easily with Monteverde Parker Style ballpoint or gel refills.
Finally, the overall size and shape of the Endura Deco Crest is middle-of-the-road. It’s not too big, not too small. As a cylindrical pen, it’s very comfortable. Not to mention, the heft is substantial, but not so much as to tire your hand. Also noteworthy is how the intricate filigree overlay doesn’t affect your hand. The grip section is low enough that the metal is still unobtrusive.
