Conklin chased gold filled vest pocket fountain pen (653)

Description

Conklin chased gold filled lever filler vest pocket fountain pen. Correct smooth soft wet X-fine to medium "Conklin 3 Toledo" open gold nib and Endura style hard rubber feed. Very light push ins-not quite dings on the rounded bottom. No dings on the edges of the pen bottom and cap top. A light darkening on the cap indicates plate wear will soon show as the plating is thin. I chose not to shine it up so the buyer can see it. A very neatly done script personalization in the box "ML". Nice checkerboard chasing is well done. Original lanyard ring is still on the pen. A very nice survivor from the 20's. From my Conklin display collection.
