Ebonite Fountain Pen From Dindigul

[Savit]

Has anybody heard of this ebonite fountain pen from Dindigul?

 

https://www.indiamart.com/shop-sigma/ebonite-pens.html#handmade-ebonite-fountain-pen-m012

 

It popped up in a google search. I have never heard of nor used "indiamart.com".

 

The carved decorations at the ends of the pens looked interesting... A kind of 'ancient' feel...

Probably seller is in dindigul. Looks interesting. Do report back if you buy it.

They look interesting honestly, I like M012 versions, top and bottoms look like ancient architecture from India, incorporating hindustani architecture elements (I think that is the name of them). They are priced quite nicely, now if only they stopped asking for phone number😄.

 

Again do tell if you buy one, I blew my budget this morning on ranga slim bamboo so out of question for me....from pic looks like they are using wality nibs, I think that should allow for some possibilities in nib department. Hari sir is best for this😁.

The pen with the temple design is really tempting! I don't know how reliable is buying anything from IndiaMart and I have never tried. Please let us know if you're going for it or if you've already got that pen with you (I'm quite late for this thread 😅) and do tell tell how's the buying experience from IndiaMart.

The contact details provided were outdated, I think.. Could not contact the person who listed the ad.. Or maybe it is sold and they moved on..

IndiaMart experience was not great.. I initially made the mistake of clicking somewhere that said 'my requirement is so and so product'; then i started getting calls, texts and whatsapp messages for all sorts of fountain pens.. However, thankfully, there was a setting that I could adjust and 'turn-off', following which the calls/texts stopped..

I found some interesting sellers for another product (not pens) that I was eyeing at - but i realized that they are now active on amazon or on their own websites.. So IndiaMart looks like an oudated online marketplace..
