Laminated celluloid.

Thank you for the information. I looked up celluloid and found it has gone out of favor (and sort of a lost art) and the material is very flammable which makes it not so popular. The Eversharp pens and pencils of that material are very interesting.

Remind me not to set fire to mine, although it does suggest a novel way to start a campfire.

i lit some scrap celluloid on fire a while ago, it goes up like a torch, leaves nothing but ash. I burned a whole pen one day (garbage pen), and all that was left was ash and all metal components of pen, nothing left.

Indeed - it's a lot of fun with table tennis balls, too :)

 

btw, the Moire/Modern Stripes have rather expensive during the last couple of years.

Greetings,

This PenHero article has a bit more information on the method used:

You get a chunk of this stuff after it's been 'striped', and then wrap it around a mold of sorts in the shape of the pen. The seam line that you see on all these pens is where the two ends meet again. Pen companies would often buy the celluloid in rods that already had the striped properties in them from such companies as DuPont. Not sure about the specifics for the Skyline stripes, every company does it differently.

      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
