Handmade Ebonite Pens With Sheaffer Inlaid Nibs

[terim]

We just got in a large order of handmade ebonite pens from Ranga in India. These pens were designed to work with Sheaffer inlaid nibs and Sheaffer converters/cartridges. That means they will accept the same nibs found in 1960-70s Sheaffer Imperials such as the 444, 330, and 440 (steel nibs) and the high end Imperials such as the 777, 826 and 834 (long diamond inlaid 14k nibs) and the V-inlay nibs from the 550 and 440XG models.

 

We're offering them with gold colored clips, silver colored clips, or no clip. They are the same length but slightly more slender than the regular Ranga models such as their "Duofold" model 3 and rounded-ends Model 4C.

 

Here are some photos that show the pen in various colors. These pens are available in black (both smooth and matte "bakul" finish), mottled green, mottled brown, ripple green, ripple brown, ripple olive and ripple pink (really more like burgundy).

Our prices are very reasonable for a handmade hard rubber pen with a quality US-made nib and converter. $68 for pens with steel nibs, and $113 for pens with 14k nibs. Shipping to addresses in the US is free, and around $10 for orders outside the US. You'll find the pens on our web site here.

 

We are having very good response to our Ranga pens offered at $80 with German (JoWo) screw-in nib units:

 

Model 4C (rounded ends)

 

Model 3 (aka "Duofold")

 

Customers continue to give us very enthusiastic feedback about our collaborations with Ranga Pens of India. I hope you'll give one of these great pens a try soon.
