Product Description
Type Handmade ebonite pen with aerometric filling system and a vintage Warranted nib
Product Name This is one of our Peyton Street Pens exclusives, and we call this model "Soquel." This is the version with a clip.
Manufacturer and Year Ranga Pens of india made the ebonite components, and adapted a Chinese Hero aerometric filling system. The vintage Warranted nib is from the 1930s or 40s.
Length Just barely over 5-1/4"
Filling System Aerometric (squeeze) filling system. (Please note that squeezing the aerometric filler a few times will get the pen about half full, meaning the section and lower part of the sac will be filled. This will provide quite a bit of ink, more than a conventional cartridge. In order to fill the pen more completely, you have to squeeze the filler a few times while it is in the ink, then carefully wipe it down, point the nib at the ceiling, and give the pen a little shake or flick with your fingernail to get the ink to move into the top of the sack. Then you can put the nib back into the ink and squeeze the filler again, and this will add some more ink.)
Color Black matte ebonite with light periwinkle blue accent lines and a gold colored clip.
Nib FINE vintage 14k Warranted nib, the only part of this pen that isn't brand new. It's smooth and in nice condition with good tipping material remaining. Semi flexible, with line variation from fine to broad with a little pressure. See writing sample below.
