Recommended Posts

Anyone know of a website which would have the specs for Conklin vintage pens?

 

What I am looking for in particular is information on dimensions and nibs for Conklin models 30 & 40.

 

Thanks!

All measurements for pens with clips.  I have a clipless Model 30 that is slightly longer overall but other dimensions are very close.

 

Conklin 40:

138 mm capped

126 mm barrel and No. 4 nib

11.1 mm barrel diameter

13.3 mm cap diameter

65 mm cap length

 

Conklin 30:

135 mm capped

124 mm barrel and No. 3 nib

10.7 mm barrel diameter

12.6 mm cap diameter

63 mm cap length

 

I don't know of a website for vintage Conklins.  The very expensive and difficult to find book The Conklin Legacy by Alfonso Murbohigas is the most comprehensive reference I have seen.

 

If you need any other measurements please let me know.

Thank you.  I didn't know he was selling it directly.  It's an amazing book.
