Show Us Your Ebonite Fountain Pens

[Sh.Andrews]

My only ebonite so far, a Bexley 56 with factory stub. Soon to be joined by custom Edison in red ebonite - a very practical material for FPs.

Thank you Hari for this very interesting model. The ebonite is beautiful.

 

I have been folowing Shrujaya's blog since I saw his presentation of this brand, and his pens (and vainly trying to find a Misak myself since then ).

[amk]

Fountainpagan, I think the pen you were admiring is the Varuna (=Ranga) Rajan. May have got wires crossed as I have been celebrating a successful day at the vides grenier by pouring myself a couple of nice beers.

[fountainpagan]

Yes amk, your wires are crossed. I confirm: you had too mny beers.

 

I don't like the Varuna, too big, and it certainly is not a vintage pen.

 

I am talking about Misak. Here is the link to the thread it presented the Misak brand to me:

And here is Shrujaya's blog , I have been following since. He is a very educated person, writes beautifully and his blog is rich in information on many interesting subjects, such as litterature and music, among others:

All models are beautiful.... I would prefer the band in Capitola to be gold colored...

We will be inquiring about that when we re-order. We are offering these with 14k nibs, and gold trim will look much better.

 

FYI we have priced the Capitola at $55 during its introduction..... Add $70 for a 14k nib, or add $25 for one of Nivardo's cursive italic grinds.

Can you please type the name of the mini pen with 'auna' inscription.

And tell a couple of words about it.

 

Added later

Sorry! At first I failed to read your hand.

I understand the visible inscription letters on the pen is a part of 'Bauna' meaning dwarf in Hindi.

Who is the maker of this pen? It is very interesting indeed!

My ebonite are all unbranded, but I shall share too:

[fountainpagan]

@fromthecrowd - Bauna was made by Oliver, so Sree has told me.

 

@mcgeechan - They are nice your ebonites.

On the second photo, the blue ebonites seem to have very interesting nibs. Could you please show them more in detail, and a writing sample too? Please tell as little more about them.
