Ranga Ebonite Update From Peyton Street Pens

[terim]

Ranga Indian Ebonite Pens UPDATE Hand-made in India, Hand-Tweaked in California!

 

 

We've expanded our selection of Ranga ebonite models, and added a few more one-off combinations with upgraded nibs. We're especially pleased with a new, slightly more slender rounded model (4CS) we had designed in order to house some of our new old stock Eversharp gold nibs, and other small sized vintage nibs. Each will be offered with our filling system conversion which allows you to use a converter, Sheaffer cartridges, or employ the pen as an eyedropper. We've got gold plated Wality nibs in fine, some Sheaffer steel No Nonsense nibs in medium, and a few No Nonsense fine nibs. We'll eventually set up all the website listings to allow you to choose your nib, but in the meantime if you don't see the combination you desire, send us an email.

From left to right:

 

 

MODEL 5 [NEW] This is the largest Ranga, measuring 6-7/8", and is 11/16" thick at its widest point. It is clip-less. We've only got a few, with more on order. As with all our Rangas, we have replaced the original hand-cut ebonite feed with a modern Sheaffer feed and offer the pen in the cartridge/converter/eyedropperconfiguration. We've got these priced at $85 for the standard ebonite colors.

 

 

MODEL 3 aka the "Duofold" style Ranga. It is 5-7/8" in length and features a flattop and bottom. The cap overlaps the barrel and screws on. We have replaced the original feed with a modern Sheaffer feed and offer the pen in the cartridge/converter/eyedropper configuration ($70), as well as in an eyedropper-only configuration for $55.

 

 

BAMBOO Modeled as the name suggests after the jointed stalk of a bamboo tree, this clip-less pen is 5-7/8". You can get the pen in the cartridge/converter/eyedropper configuration ($80).

 

 

MODEL 4 It is 5-7/8" in length and features a rounded top and a flat bottom. The cap screws on and fits flush against the barrel. With a modern Sheaffer feed,you can get the pen in the cartridge/converter/eyedropper configuration ($70),as well as in an eyedropper-only configuration for $55.

 

 

MODEL 4C [NEW] It is 5-7/8" in length and features a rounded top and a roundedbottom. The cap screws on and fits flush against the barrel. We have upgradedthe pen with a modern Sheaffer feed and offer the pen in thecartridge/converter/eyedropper configuration priced at $70.

 

 

MODEL 4CS [NEW] It is 5-7/8" in length and features a rounded top and a rounded bottom. This pen is a little more slender than the 3-4-4C models, and looks better with average sized nibs. The cap screws on and fits flush against the barrel. We have replaced the original feed based on the nib selection and offer the pen in the cartridge/converter/eyedropper configuration with new old stock, never used Eversharp 14k nibs introductory priced at $85. These are fine, semi-flex nibs from Eversharp Symphony pens. Our supply of nibs is limited and we're hoping to obtain more of the Symphony nibs. This model is ideal for vintage Waterman #2 nibs, if you happen to have one of those lying around.

Love what you're doing with these Teri. I'd been snooping about your website a littler earlier today - well late afternoon for me and saw your latest endeavours with these Ranga pens - totally awesome.

Thanks Ms. Teri for doing the modifications with Vintage stuff. The pens with your modifications looks fascinating.
