Conklin Pens

We are proud to introduce Conklin pens to the Fairbanks pen community. Conklin has a long tradition of producing quality fountain pens. The Crescent was endorsed by Mark Twain. The crescent filler is a unique design and a pleasure to use. It harks back to the times when pens were dropper or lever filled.

The Endura is faceted and comes in unique colors and resin. The Endura uses international cartridges or converters. We also have one limited edition Herringbone Roller Ball by Conklin. Only 150 of these pens were manufactured; the limited quantity makes this a desirable and collectable pen to add to your collection.

Beauty, quality, style, and cost are all important factors to us as we choose our pens and ink. We like to write with a pen that feels good in our hands and is pleasing to the eye. From titanium to lacquers, acrylics and leather, we have the color and style to fit your lifestyle. We feature quality pens in a huge price range from the precision-made functional Lamy, to the nature mosaics of Libelle and the ultra-rich resin colors of Recife and Jean Pierre Lepine. We carry Italian made Aurora pens as well as Monteverde, Laban, and Retro 51. Italian and German hand blown glass pens as well as turned wood dip pens excite and delight pen enthusiasts who enjoy calligraphy and lettering or just want the feel of laying a line of wet ink onto paper.

Fountain pen ink, calligraphy and drawing ink come in rich colors to express subtleties in mood and passion. We carry Herbin, Lamy and Aurora ink in bottles and cartridges, and Aladine and Private Reserve in bottles. We carry a variety of papers to compliment our inks and pens. (See Journals section for more information).
