A no-name large size handcrafted Ebonite Eyedropper. Dark Blue/Black ripple with a med. iridium nib. Capped 144 mm. Required a bit of nib smoothing with 12000 grit micromesh. Used all day today, inked with Iroshizuku Kon-Peki. Inked with 2 1/4 ml. of ink. Did quite a bit of writing today, and did not experience any cramping of my right hand. Paid $10.51 (free shipping), so it is not an ASA or Fountain Pen Revolution Treveni/Jr ebonite pen, but for the price I'm rather satisfied.

I used my Asa galactic with diamine steel blue to make some note taking more interesting today. Seems a popular pen in this thread. Please ignore my handwriting!attachicon.gifIMAG1304.jpg

Beautiful...

This is the picture seen on Ebay. My computer camera does not give me truly clear shots. As you can see it is not an ASA Pen or FPR quality ebonite pen, but it does the job as an eyedropper. Dark blue/black swirl.

The nib is now relatively smooth, with minimal feedback. I'm considering doing just a bit more smoothing. Made the nib wetter. Feels good in the hand. My only issue is that the clip is not snug & can rotate around if lightly turned. I was told the top would unscrew, however, I am not having luck unscrewing it. Trying to think of another option to keep the clip secure in place. Apart from that clip issue, for $10.51/free shipping, I am reasonably pleased. I wrote with the pen for about 3 hrs. yesterday without any cramping. I may also want to try for another nib (which will not be a surprise to you)!

 

**********************************************

 

NOTE: I decided to change the nib. I had an extra Fountain Pen Revolution #5.5/1.0 stub nib. Perfect fit, and now writes just as I like it. Smooth with hardly noticeable feedback. Once I resolve the clip issue, I will surely be content!

I really like the Fosfor woodgrain ebonite! I had not seen that ebonite variety before and will add it to my wanted list!

Thank you Mhguda.

 

Thank you, Mehandiratta.

 

I have been playing with some of my no-names . I will probably invent them some nice names of my own. ;)

 

Today, still a no-name

Red torpedo? The ripples suggest fast movement through a fluid, to me.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
