This is a Fend Normatic rolled gold (walzgold) button fill fountain pen c. 1930s.

This is a large size, wide cap band Conklin Glider fountain pen in green striped celluloid c. 1944-1946. It was made in three versions, this being the largest pen, which is the only one with a 3/8 inch wide gold plated cap band. The gold plating on these pens is notoriously thin, in contrast with the very high quality pens Conklin made in the previous decade. It features a 14 karat gold Cushon Point nib and a clear Visink ink view section. Conklin advertisements from 1944 describe the Glider as a new fountain pen selling for $2.75 and $3.95 in a set with the matching pencil. Four different “dichro-plastic” striped inlay pattern colors were shown, in shades of green, blue, brown and red.
