The Conklin 1898 fountain pen in Primary Manipulation 4.5 unites luminous, color-shifting resin with warm yellow gold trim and a responsive 14k gold nib. Marbled ribbons of blue, violet, and amber seem to move with the light, giving the pen a striking presence on the desk and in the hand.

Craftsmanship & Design

Named for Conklin's founding year, the 1898 carries a clean, contemporary profile that highlights the material. The body is turned from cast acrylic featuring the celebrated Primary Manipulation 4.5 palette created by Jonathan Brooks, with each pen showing its own natural variation in swirl and chatoyance. Polished yellow gold appointments provide a refined contrast while standing up well to daily carry.

Writing Experience

The solid 14k gold nib offers a smooth, lively feel with the gentle compliance that enthusiasts prize in precious metal nibs. Choose Fine or Medium for dependable everyday control, or select the 14k Omniflex to explore expressive line variation with a light, deliberate hand. The international cartridge or converter filling system makes ink changes simple, compatible with a wide range of bottled inks and cartridges.

Brand Heritage

Since 1898, Conklin has been synonymous with inventive American penmaking, from early self-filling designs to modern writing instruments appreciated by collectors and writers alike. The 1898 model nods to that legacy while embracing contemporary materials and a refined gold nib for a confident, enjoyable write.
