Ebonite Fountain Pens

Ebonite material is durable, scientifically stable, and provides excellent electrical insulation and machinability. When fountain pens were first invented, all pens were made of a hardened rubber called ebonite. Today, few pen makers continue to use this beautiful material, making ebonite fountain pens rare and highly prized. When the surface of ebonite is polished, it gives a beautiful, lacquer-like gloss.
