Conklin - Mark Twain - Crescent Filler - Fountain Pen

Fountain pen with Crescent Filler loading

Establishing the Conklin Pen Company as a leader in American writing instruments, the Crescent Filler became one of Conklin brand’s signature pens and changed the industry forever.

Founder Roy Conklin from Toledo, Ohio, patented the design for the first self-filling pen in 1897, causing his company to thrive and gain the approval of author Mark Twain, who became the official spokesperson for the Conklin brand.

Each pen is engraved with Mark Twain’s signature along the band, and maintains the original Conklin spring loaded rocker clip that was patented in 1916, which is the perfect addition to any pocket, jacket, or coat.
