Product Description
Type Lever filling vintage fountain pen and pencil set in excellent working condition
Product Name Endura, ring top. (Marked on the barrel of the pencil; the fountain pen is marked "Duragraph" on the barrel.)
Manufacturer and Year Conklin, Toledo Ohio, 1930s
Length Both pen and pencil are 4-1/2" in length.
Filling System Lever filler, restored here at Peyton Street Pens. The pencil takes 1.1mm (or "thick") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. We'll include a small packet of leads.
Color Orange with gold filled trim.
Nib FULL FLEX FINE - almost a wet noodle. 14k Toledo nib is in excellent condition with nice tipping material, and great line variation (see writing sample below). Therfe are two short tiny cracks extending off the nib's breather hole, which you can see in the photo, With normal writing and flexing, these will be stable, but if you over-flex the nib they may crack further.
Condition Excellent with no cracks or chips. There's some minor handwear on all the trim, and a little brassing around the edges of the lever. The barrels each have a few tiny scratches, and the mark on the pen is mostly worn away. The cap of the pen is a little discolored, and has a little more scratching than the rest of the pen. Still, both pen and pencil are looking great, and working very well. And the nib is very impressive.
