Founded in Toledo, Ohio in 1898, Conklin is a cornerstone of American pen making — its ingenious Crescent Filler so admired by Mark Twain that he became the brand's most devoted ambassador.

Today's Conklin pens honor that legacy with vintage-inspired silhouettes, luminous resins, and smooth, expressive nibs, bridging more than a century of writing tradition.

At TABULA RASA, we are proud to offer Conklin — a true American original, still writing history.
