Custom Tortoise Lucite And Black Ebonite


Scriptorium Pens

Recommended Posts

Here's a custom, clipless design in Tortoise Lucite with German Ebonite section. This is a Medium sized pen with a cartridge/converter/eyedropper filling system. The customer wanted a black section to hide the ink in the grip area and because ebonite feels good. :) It's headed off to Pendleton Brown for a regrind into a butter-line smooth cursive italic 18k nib.



Dimensions:


14 x .8mm cap to barrel threads (Medium)


Nib: JoWo (Meisternib) #6


Filling system: Cartridge/Converter/Eyedropper


Length capped: 152mm


Length uncapped: 137


Length posted: didn’t measure it before shipping!


Cap length: 71mm


Cap diameter: 16.3mm - 14.5mm


Barrel diameter: 15.18mm - 12.3mm


Section length: 22mm (extended)

Very nice job! I can't make inside clean like yours.

I can't believe I'm making fountain pens! pen.18111.com

Sure you can! Wrap your sandpaper around the end of a drill bit or something else long enough to reach in there and go through all the grits, sanding like crazy.

Beautiful pen, Renée. I like the way your client thinks - IMO, using ebonite is classier than making the section from translucent material. (Of course, some will feel differently :) )

I agree with you on the section. I know the ink is under there anyway, but it just looks nicer to me. Cleaner, I guess.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
