Glass Nib Units?

[BrassRatt]

Moonman, or perhaps "MO+ZE", has a dual-nib eyedropper pen series like this

apparently with interchangeable steel and glass nibs (nib+feed+collar units).

 

Does anyone know if I can buy just the glass nib units? Yes, I realize they are dip-only.

 

I have some experimental designs in mind, and the swelled shape of these is very pretty.

 

Thanks!

Here's an old thread that mentions Glass nibs from cz-design in Prague, might be useful : https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/79288-glass-dip-pen-nibs/

Thought I've seen others before where it's just the ends, but most I've seen are attached to the acrylic holder.

By the way, you know they're gonna feel like an extreme nail to use right?

Thanks for the reference.

 

I am quite familiar with the feel of a glass nib, thanks, and so are many of our friends here who use them for ink sampling and for inks that should not enter fountain pens. Sometimes perfect rigidity is an advantage.

 

Now back to the question:

 

Can someone help me source the new Moonman Wanwu MO+ZE glass nib screw-in units?

 

Thank you!

If you mean MO+ZE specifically have you tried contacting them directly? And why specifically only their glass nibs?

Glass nibs doesn't need to be dip only. There are couple of vintage ones, that are piston or sac-fillers, that has glass nib. Early Haro pens have glass nibs. They may also fit to regular pens, if glas nib diameter is same as feed diameter. I have bunch of spare nibs, found them on ebay.

During and after WWII glas-nibbed fountain pens were common as metal was to precious for nibs. Also glas nibs were popular when one had to make carbon copies.

I have a couple of old Spors pens, which featured glass nibs. Those Czech nibs will fit in them, but not the later ones.

Yes they are available

 

Thank you, Ted A.

That's what I was looking for, and Ebay's search function wasn't showing me.
