This is our latest Goulet-exclusive limited edition Conklin Duragraph fountain pen: the Topaz Whirlwind!
The Topaz Whirlwind features the same material used on the Conklin 1898 Misto Orange. In Italian Misto means “mixed” or “mixed together”, which refers to the NEW unique resin mix of various multiple colors for each pen. Mixing resins for luxury pens requires precision and attention to detail to achieve a superior and aesthetically pleasing result. The process is started by selecting a high-quality liquid resin, choosing suitable color combinations, and following a precise step by step process of mixing the colors together.
Each pen is numbered on the back of the cap.
The Duragraph draws its inspiration from the rich heritage of the Conklin brand, which was purchased and revived by Yafa in 2009. It is manufactured in Asia, assembled and distributed from Canoga Park, California, and pays tribute to its roots with a “Toledo, Ohio” engraving on its nib and barrel. The cap top is embellished with the Conklin Est. 1898 logo and the cap band are engraved with the famous Duragraph model script font with three Conklin Crescent logos on either side of the model name. The fountain pen comes with a converter and a cartridge.
The Conklin Duragraph fountain pen is offered with your choice of a reliable, smooth-writing German made JoWo #6 rose gold-plated steel nib in extra-fine, fine, medium, broad, or 1.1mm stub, or the JoWo Omniflex flexible rose gold-plated steel nib for variation in line width.
Our note about the JoWo Omniflex nib: This flex nib will allow you to experience more bounce and softness than writing with conventional nibs. You can achieve some line variation with a little additional downward pressure, to a point. We recommend flexing the nib to about twice the line width that you would see without using any pressure. Please take care to avoid pressing too hard on the nib, as over-flexing could prevent the tines from returning fully to their original position and decrease or stop your ink flow.
We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of this unique material, there will be much variation in the patterns and colors seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same. We cannot honor special requests.
