Product Description
Type Blow fill fountain pen made of Indian ebonite (hard rubber)
Product Name This is the clipless extra oversize #5 model by Ranga
Manufacturer and Year Ranga Pen Co. of India made the barrel and cap and section, and we fitted it with a vintage Waterman 1940s nib from the Hundred Year Pen successor "Emblem" series.
Length 7"
Filling System We have configured this pen as a blow-filler. It's a simple filling process: put the nib in ink, and blow in the hole in the end of the barrel. (Surprsing little pressure is actually required.) Leave the nib in the ink for a few seconds, pull it out and wipe off any excess ink on the section. The pen is ready to write. You don't need to unscrew the barrel, but if you did you'd see a simple rubber sac which will be easy to maintain and replace if it ever wears out.
Color This pen has the shiny and smooth finish, in ripple brown hard rubber.
Nib SEMI-FLEX FINE Waterman Emblem nib. The Emblem pens were the successor to the Hundred Year Pen series, and they were the largest nibs Waterman offered at the time. Excellent, smooth everyday flex. Please see writing sample below.
Condition Brand new, never used. Shipped in Peyton Street Pens gift box ... and it barely fits!
