  1. This is the third part of my narration of my meeting with Mr Lakshmana Rao and the new pens that he had made…I posted the first two ones almost immediately, and wanted to give some gap before I posted the rest…but I suddenly realized that the gap has become too huge… Here is the Guider Acrylic Jumbo in Red… the White Super Jumbo in acrylic and the current one are both Mr Lakshmana Rao’s experiments in acrylic with big size pens…one can say that this is his ‘Acrylic Phase’… the earlier two posts on Guider Acrylic Kid and White Super Jumbo showcased his size related experiments…and it is not that he has not made pens in Acrylic earlier…one can say that he is a traditional ‘ebonite pen maker’… and only occasionally dabbled in acrylic… I liked it as soon as I saw this pen…it is similar in shape and size to the Guider Black Ebonite Jumbo… here are the photos… http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/1-GuiderRedJumbo-capped_zpsee8f9096.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/2-GuiderRedJumbo-uncapped_zpsbd2e6f39.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/3-GuiderRedJumbo-posted_zps537e6c2e.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/4-GuiderRedJumbo-clip_zps685dfbe5.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/5-GuiderRedJumbo-nib_zpsedabbf1f.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/6-GuiderRedJumbo-section_zps918d67d5.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/7-GuiderRedJumbo-feeder_zps8b3b4c4d.jpg http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/8-GuiderRedJumbo-capcloseup_zpsb6c71b67.jpg One can see the increase in translucency as one reaches the cap lip…the dark red becomes lighter… http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/9-GuiderRedJumbo-acrylicrod_zps49fb83e1.jpg This was something new to me…this is an acrylic rod…Mr Lakshmana Rao had brought this with him to show me…the present Red Jumbo was made from one such rod…I always thought only ebonite came in the shape of rods and had to be bored to make pens…and acrylic and celluloid came in the shape of tubes…and therefore one had to seal the ends with ebonite or any other suitable substance to make the tubes into pens…so when Mr Lakshmana Rao showed me this, I was surprised and asked him and he told me that acrylic is available as rods too…and when I saw the pen I realized what he said…there are no stoppers at the barrel end and cap end… this is true of the White Super Jumbo too… maybe these rods come in single colours and it is easier to make single colour pens with these rods…but when it comes to swirls and whorls, one has to go to the sheets and tubes…this is my understanding…I may be completely wrong… http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/10-GuiderRedJumbo-acrylicrodandredjumbo_zpsccf45ee7.jpg Red acrylic rod and the Red Acrylic Jumbo… http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/11-GuiderRedJumbo-withblackjumbo_zps9a330891.jpg With the Black Ebonite Jumbo http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/12-GuiderRedJumbo-withblackandwhitejumbo_zps6cb1b387.jpg With the White Acrylic Super Jumbo and Black Ebonite Jumbo http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn280/bambli_mass/13-GuiderRedJumbo-allguiderjumbos_zps6af840fb.jpg A group photo of all the Jumbos that Mr Laksmhana Rao had brought with him…you can see Jumbos in mottled green and mottled brown ebonite too… Thanks for visiting and reading… Shrujaya
