Established in 1898, the Conklin Pen Company® founder Roy Conklin,
an innovator from Toledo, Ohio USA, is today regarded as one of the most
significant and innovative American writing instruments manufacturers
from the golden era of fountain pens.
Roy Conklin registered the
patent for the first working automatic filling mechanism in 1897 and is
recognized as creating one of the world’s first practical self-filling
fountain pen. The Crescent Filler™ soon proved to be a success
world-wide.
Thanks to Roy Conklin, owner and inventor, the
fountain pen was ultimately made more practical and convenient for the
public with his patented invention of the Crescent Filler™. The Crescent
Filler™ has a piece of metal shaped like a crescent moon, that extends
from the side of the pen, and was the key to a simple and easy
one-handed way to self-fill the pen with ink. The simple depression of
the crescent
engages the internal pressure bar to collapse the
built-in rubber sac. Releasing the crescent allows incoming ink to fill
the sac.
In 1903, Mark Twain, the legendary American author, expressed the virtues of this unique self-filling fountain pen.
After
becoming the official spokesman for The Conklin Pen Company®, Mark
Twain discovered yet another benefit to Conklin’s Crescent Filler™
stating, “Also, I prefer it because it is a profanity saver’ it cannot
roll off the desk”.
More than 115 years later, today’s Conklin
Pen Company® is striving to continue in the same spirit of bold
innovation, while still providing the highest quality available in fine
writing instruments throughout the world.
