Momose Ebonite Eyedropper

[Nikolaos]

Dear all,

 

Last October I was in Taipei and had another chance to meet again with my friends from the bustling fountain pen community there. I was also fortunate enough to trade one of my pens for this wonderful eyedropper made by Mr. Momose. It's made from ebonite, carved in a luscious bamboo shape with really fine details. It's a large eyedropper with shut off valve and has an Omas medium nib. It's a fantastic writer but also a great pen to hold and look at. My good friend Judy took some wonderful photos and her composition and attention to detail really do the pen justice.

 

Please enjoy!

This is a truly handsome pen, a rare one too. Congratulations on trading with J for this.

 

We enjoyed having you with us last October. Any chance of coming to Taiwan for the Chinese New Year?

What an amazing pen! It reminds me of the Sailor pen in ebonite and urushi that was done to commemorate Nobuyoshi Nagahara's retirement. It too has the look and feel of bamboo, and is quite large.

 

Enjoy it!

Dear Michael,

 

Thank you very much. It is indeed a lovely pen. I was happy with the trade I am really looking forward to seeing you and the rest of the members again but not sure yet when. Chinese New Year is a possibility but we are not certain yet.

 

 

Dear David,

 

You are right. It's similar to the Nobuyoshi Nagahara commemorative pen, only simpler. In my humble opinion the Nagahara pen looks like real bamboo so in a way i don't get the point of it. For that reason alone I do prefer the Momose where the lines and shape are bamboo-like but not so explicit. It's all down to individual taste I guess
