New Ranga Ebonites At Peyton Street Pens

Recommended Posts

Hello -

 

I'm happy to announce we are starting to carry a new model made by Ranga pens of India, and we also have some nice new standard ebonite colors for our existing models.

 

Let's start with the new model, Ranga 8. It's a torpedo shaped pen that's almost 6 inches long. The version we are stocking is fitted with a screw in nib unit made by JoWo of Germany, and takes international cartridges. We ship it with a converter, in a Peyton Street Pens gift box, for $80 with free US shipping.

We've also got two new colors for some of our existing Ranga models .... yellow ripple, and a red ripple that is closer to red than the standard "pink ripple" Ranga color. These are for Model 4C, Model 3, and our Sheaffer Imperial nib'd Model 4CS. We have a wider nib selection for the German nibbed pens which now includes extra fine and 1.1mm and 1.5mm, though only in the polished steel.

 

Here's the 4C in the new red ripple color:

And we've also added some new colors for the 4CS pens which accept Sheaffer Imperial inlaid nibs.... still priced at $68.

Thanks for your continued interest in our ebonite pens. We're really enjoying our relationship with Ranga of India.

 

Best wishes,

Sweet. That Ranga 8 is a nice looking pen. Maybe the Ranga Cruiser will get replenished with new choices next.

We don't plan on re-stocking the Cruiser once the current inventory sells out, though we will continue to carry the Soquel pen which has the same filling system and flexible Eversharp nibs.

 

We're in the process of developing a new slim ebonite model for our Eversharp flex nibs that uses refillable ink cartridge units ..... stay tuned! We should have this new model by the end of May, and we'll debut it at the June 8 Pen Posse here at Peyton Street Pens.

 

Thanks for your interest!

How do these compare in terms of size to the rest of the models? Also is the smooth black pen smaller or it's just an optical illusion.

These are handmade, so there can be a small size variation from pen to pen.

 

The new model 8 is the same length as the other oversize Rangas, such as the 3, 4c and Bamboo. It is, however, more slender. We're putting together a comparison shot today.

These pens are tempting me hard. I may have to give in before long.

 

Are you guys planning to restock the other colors of the acrylic Ranga pens?

For some reason, the acrylic pens have not been good sellers for us. I suppose acrylic isn't as exotic as ebonite, but they certainly turned out nicely and we loved the colors. The only model we carried in acrylic was the 4CS model with the Sheaffer Imperial nibs.....

I have a Model 3 and a Model 5, only when I bought them they were known as the Varuna Rajan and Gajendra, respectively. The Rajan is inked with Noodler's Zhivago and has a medium steel nib. Very smooth writer. The Gajendra is uninked at the moment but I've been eyeing it up. That one has a steel B nib from Brian Gray and is also a great writer.

 

Great pens in general!

      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
