Rippled Ebonite

[manojd]

Here is a rippled ebonite pen with Gunmetal Bronze accents. The ebonite seems to be a rare variety with multi-color ripples.

 

 

Here are the dimensions of my pen:

• Overall size: 150mm x 14.9mm
• Body: 134mm x 12.1mm
• Cap: 62mm x 14.9mm
• Cap to Barrel Threads: 12mm x 0.8mm double start
• Weight: 22g

Looking forward to C & C.

 

Thank you.

A majestic and poised looking creation. Thanks for sharing.

a nice pen over all but for me the bands are too wide and distract from the nice ripple of the ebonite. 7

Thanks for your feedback. The section band was an afterthought.

I like the pen, especially curious about the clip. I am unable to read what is written on it, can you help? thanks!

Thanks Hari.

 

The clip says "Paradise" on it. Came from a vintage pen which has a barrel engraving that says: "BRITISH STRAND MADE".

I don't mind the wide band on the cap and section, but perhaps a narrow band on the barrel end would have sort of repeated the thin gold band created by the clip if you felt you needed an accent on the barrel end. A very nice pen with a vintage look. I am curious about how it posts, does the cap come to the wide band when posted?

It post well with the cap covering the barrel band. Almost 1/3 rd of the barrel is covered.

I would think that with a wide band and the cap posting above the band there would be a possibility of scratching the band and it would be more evident than with a narrow band.

This is quite likely. I was actually thinking of engraving the bands which will distract from the scratches.
