I think this is a modern Endura, but I have not been able to find any mention of one in this finish. Conklin had a run of non-faceted marble resin Enduras a few years ago, but they are no longer being made, and the only example I can find is in a different finish Suffice to say, it’s a modern Conklin modeled on their vintage flat-tops, and it’s gorgeous!

This is a bit of an odd bird, no longer made. It’s an Endura, with a subtly faceted barrel, and a stunning multi-colored resin I have named ‘jungle,’ though I think the original designation was ’emerald green,’ but that hardly does it justice. Another Conklin line, like the Duragraph, that is a direct descendent of their vintage line (though no vintage pen dreamed of colors like this!).

Have I mentioned I have a thing for orange pens? This could, at first glance be a Delta Dolce Vita, which is why I fell in love with it. My first Duragraph, and a very solid pen all around.

The Duragraph line is a great modern take on a classic vintage look. And for a mid-range pen, they deliver as workhorses, and this one is no exception. This one is usally one I ink up around the holidays with a rich green like Noodler’s Polar Green or Iroshizuku’s Syo-Ro for a cooler green.

I like big pens, and I like Conklins; what can I say? This has a very unique yellow, pearl, and black swirl that should be tacky, but somehow manages to not be. I actually ended up with two of these (no, I did not forget I bought the first one, and then score another on sale, why?), and both are stunners.

Another of Conlklin’s big, hefty All American line, this one in a really lovely tortoise resin that has a lot of depth to it.

A big, fairly heavy pen, in a stunning orange marbled resin. (Still love orange pens…) Luscious writer, though like most Conklins & Monteverdes (or most brand new modern pens, really), it takes a bit of TLC when new. Totally worth it! I’m less thrilled with Conklin’s ‘omniflex’ nib; it is a bit too stiff to flex easily, and it seems to lack the ‘spring’ to open up and then close again. I have another omniflex on a Duragraph, and the tines never quite seemed to come back together.
