Black & Bronze Conklin Endura Symetrik Pen & Pencil Set, 14K F Nib, Excel. Cond.

Description

This is a Conklin’s Endura Symetrik fountain pen and pencil set from the 1930s. It is standard size, measuring 5 3/16”; when posted, the pen measures 6 1/8”.  Both pen and pencil have the gold crescent emblem above the clip. The set is in near mint condition; no brassing, serious scratches, teeth marks or personalizations. Both pen and pencil have been tested and are ready to write.
Key Features:
Lever-filling system works well; has strong suction and holds a good amount of ink.
Fine 14k gold Conklin Endura nib has a crescent-shape breather hole. It is smooth and firm but not hard. Though not a flexible nib, it can produce a bit of line variation(see writing sample).
Crisp barrel imprint clearly identifies the pen as an Endura Symetrik. The pencil has the Conklin imprint above the clip.
The pencil contains lead that advances by turning the cap above the clip. The cap pulls off to reveal an eraser but there is not much left of it (see last photo).
