[SOLD]Conklin Wet Noodle $160


[SOLD]Conklin Wet Noodle

This is a small vest pocket pen that has chasing details. The pen doesn't seem to be hard rubber, but is a plastic most likely celluloid. The pen has a few imperfections. The cap has a red/pink stain, an extra hole drilled that is slightly larger than the stock breather holes. Doesn't seem to affect its functionality. The barrel has decent details and imprints. Not the deepest, but is legible and can be made out. Lever has patent dates, and a logo of Conklin's Crescent. The 14k gold nib has a Crescent shaped breather hole. It is a beautifully soft flexible wet noodle that writes from Fine to BBBB with nice shading qualities. Perfect for someone that wants a pen for fancy scripts or to write special letters. Pen has been recently restored and writes beautifully!  The pen does have a couple deep scratches, but is hard to notice without looking for them. Overall a great pen with a wonderfully flexible nib and no big damage. Writing sample is done on .5cm grid 90 gsm Clairefontaine paper. Measurements: 10.7m capped, 13.8cm posted, and 9.8cm unposted.

Asking price is $160 shipped within CONUS via Priority with tracking/insurance. USA buyers preferred. International buyers please PM or Email for shipping rates. I am not responsible for any duty fees incurred since I have no control over customs.
