Batch Of Ebonite Pens With Vintage Nibs

[terim]

We knew there would be a great deal of interest in our Ranga pens at the San Francisco Pen Show, and we were really very satisfied with the positive response to our Ranga models and our PSP Felton pen. In addition to the regular models, we put together a nice tray of our customized Ranga pens with vintage nibs. These pens will start appearing on the web site this week, but I wanted to give you a sneak preview. (Excuse my washed out photography ... that's why Corinne does all our photos!)

 

I think this gives you a good sense of the variety of nibs which can be successful on these great Indian pens.

Check out the neat batch of new old stock Sheaffer two tone nibs we picked up from Greg Minuskin at the SF show.... all with really interesting italic and stubbish cuts. We're taking requests to build pens with these nibs and our Ranga models. We just received a new batch of 4CS models from Ranga, and we have some nice new colors such as yellow ripple and (redder) red ripple.

Thanks for supporting us in our crazy mission to find homes for abandoned nibs!

Hi Teri,

 

Are the loose lifetime nibs you have the same size as that on the green Ranga pen (3rd from left)?

 

Edit: I meant physical size

Hi Teri,

Yes, they seem to be similar in size. There might be a few smaller nibs lurking in the cluster, but most of them are big.

The Soquels with vintage nibs seem to be the most popular .... The olive ripple pen with the Perry nib sold, as did another we added with an Edward Todd nib.

 

Here's the category we created for these one-off creations.

Here's a writing sample from one of the Sheaffer Lifetime italic nibs we got from Greg ...

And here's the pen we put it on.

I don't know If any of these nibs are left, but mine came today and it's amazing. Writes smooth and crisp. The Ranga pen is also a very nice quality. Thank you Teri.

I'm so happy you like it! Yes, we have a few of the nibs left. They seem to get snatched up as quickly as we build them.

 

Here's a pen we just added to the web site yesterday. It started with a Sheaffer Lifetime nib, and inspired by the factory grinds we've been dispensing, Nivardo has ground it to be a lovely cursive italic.

Here's another with a Sheaffer Lifetime nib, this one somewhere between a fine and an extra fine. This nib is so smooth, it's really a joy to write with.
