Help Finding An Ebonite Pen

[damnexpensivehobbies]

I posted this on Reddit /r/fountainpens but figured this might be a better place. Maybe someone can help?

 

I'm hunting for a pen with specific characteristics but I am unsure where to find it. Does anyone know of anything that meets the following criteria?

 

Full / large Ebonite body

Number 6 jowo nib (or other reputable brand)

Eyedropper or cartridge converter

Screw-on cap

Ebonite feed

Around $40 or less, there is some wiggle room.

 

I don't really care if it is machine made or handmade. I also don't really care if the nib is friction fit or screw in type. I don't plan on Switching nibs often.

Check out asa pens and Ranga pens.

 

There is a group buy going on for Ranga pens with Bock nibs.

ASA fits the price you're looking for. Let them know what you're looking for. They can take a while to ship if it's not already made. ASA makes some very affordable eyedroppers I think you can swap a Jowo in with.

 

I'd recommend Ranga if you can stretch the budget and aren't bent on having an ebonite feed.

 

Jowo's with Ebonite Feeds can be very very wet writers IME.

 

That's all I can suggest.

For these characteristics, I recommend getting an ASA Nauka in bakul black ebonite. This has a brushed finish on it. If you buy it in the eyedropper configuration, you get an ASA stock nib either in fine, medium or broad. These have ebonite feed and then you could also swap JOWO nibs but you will require to heat set the feed. Personally I haven't tried the ebonite Nauka. I have the LE Tangerine and it is great to write with.
