Conklin 1898™ Limited Edition: A Masterpiece in Primary Manipulation 4.5. A collaboration between Conklin & Jonathon Brooks at the Carolina Pen Company.
The Conklin Pen Company® is proud to unveil an extraordinary fusion of craftsmanship and artistry: the Conklin 1898™ Limited Edition, created in partnership with Jonathon Brooks of the Carolina Pen Company. Crafted from Brooks’ renowned Primary Manipulation 4.5 resin, this release celebrates both the rich heritage of Conklin and the vibrant innovation of modern resin artistry.
Designed for those who seek both beauty and performance, the Conklin 1898™ Limited Edition is made of a unique USA-made resin from one of the industry’s most revered resin makers. Jonathon Brooks is renowned for his meticulous process—transforming liquid resin into hypnotic, swirling landscapes of color, using advanced techniques that push the boundaries of pigment interaction and depth. Each pen is a singular piece of art, impossible to replicate, as the resin itself carries a unique fingerprint of its creation.
The Primary Manipulation 4.5 palette is a kaleidoscope of energetic hues: vivid blues, electric purples, fiery oranges, radiant yellows, and subtle shadows of black and white, all merging in unpredictable, fluid harmony. Each pen reveals different patterns depending on the angle and light, creating an ever-evolving visual experience. To complement the mesmerizing resin, the pen is adorned with chrome trim, including the iconic Conklin 1898 cap ring engraved with the historic vintage pattern that first graced Conklin pens in the late 19th century.
A new spring-loaded, crescent-shaped clip is a little piece of art, designed to complement Conklin’s top-notch aesthetics. Uniquely, this edition’s pens are finished in a matte surface, subtly diffusing light to enhance the organic texture and depth of the resin, allowing its layered colors to emerge with a quiet brilliance.
The Conklin 1898™ Limited Edition is offered in only 198 fountain pens and 98 rollerball pens. Each writing instrument arrives housed in a luxurious gift box with custom sleeve, ensuring it is treasured from the moment of unboxing.
The collection features a comfortable, well-balanced cigar-shaped profile, engineered for extended writing sessions. Fountain pen options are available with JoWo premium stainless steel nibs (Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, Stub, Omniflex), each adorned with Conklin’s signature crescent-shaped breather hole. Every nib is meticulously tested by our quality control team to deliver the legendary Cushion Point™ writing experience.
