Description
Established in 1898 during the golden era of fountain pens, the Conklin Pen Company is regarded as one of the most innovative American pen manufacturers. Founder Roy Conklin from Toledo, Ohio, is recognized for creating one of the world’s first self-filling fountain pens. Thanks to Conklin’s work, the design of fountain pens became more practical for public use when his patent for the first automatic filling mechanism went through in 1897. All Conklin pens are based on the original designs of earlier models, and hand-manufactured by artisans to ensure top-quality craftsmanship. The sophisticated detailing and unique filling mechanisms offer a natural elegance to any writing.
