Crafted from hand made European high grade resins, the All American is impressively large in size, yet not so big as to be uncomfortable in the hand. The cap and barrel are carefully tapered to provide a perfect balance. The All American Collection meets the requirements for those who want a large pen, one that stands out in a crowd, but which still stays true to the classic style and feel of the original Conklin designs. The fountain pen uses the reliable international cartridges, converter (supplied) and the ballpoint is accompanied with a refill and accepts the Monteverde P1 and P4 refills. Each Conklin fine writing instrument is housed in a luxury gift presentation box lined with rich satin. Ideal as a perfect gift for yourself or a loved one, the All American is the perfect choice for both men and women who use fine writing instruments in their daily professional lives, and who appreciate a bold, stylish statement in their accessories.
