I found these pretty antique ebonite FPs in good shape with a young gentleman, who didnt know the value of these, and was offering them for cheap. i immediately picked all of them 5. all Writes good, no damage. kept in good condition by previous owners.

One ebonite is a real jumbo there. 5 ml ink capacity. Others are standard size, and three of them are slim models. Some pens are really old, probably 80 years or so (see the clips, they are brass and patina on the brass tells you a story).. cleaned them all, just did initial dip test.. all looks good.

 

next couple of days, i will be polishing them , tuning the nibs little bit..will post the results here.

Those clips definitely look Parker like but I doubt duofolds ever came in such ebonites. Correct me if I'm wrong. .

Certainly not Duofolds, but the legacy of Duofolds is still followed and copied even today!

+1... my two cents is someone who is in love with Parker and has tried a hand or two in turning out customized pens...

They look amazing. Almost like wood pens. The black swirls look like tree grooves. Where do we get such ebonite? The ebonites today don't look like wood at all.

I'm starting to come to the conclusion that there are no accidents. Clearly you were meant to find these pens!

      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
