In the year 2001, when the legendary Conklin house resurfaced after decades of silence, a piece was conceived that not only wrote with ink, but with history. The Conklin Crescent Filler Centenario, limited to only 388 numbered copies, marked the rebirth of one of the first fountain pens that revolutionized modern writing.

This pen commemorates 100 years of the Crescent Filler system, that ingenious mechanism patented by Roy Conklin in 1901: a half-moon that, when pressed, compressed the internal rubber sac to absorb ink from the bottle. More than a system, it was a revolution, and this reissue honors it with fidelity and elegance.

The body, made of marbled celluloid - in deep shades such as burgundy wine, veined black or vintage amber - exudes classicism and character. The cap features the iconic rocker clip, patented in 1916, which is firmly and stylishly anchored to the pocket. The wide center band is often adorned with an engraving of Mark Twain, one of Conklin's most famous users, whose pen traveled the world with him.
