Inkograph and Esterbrook Conversion

The first one is a inkograph drafting pen that has some really nice coloring that I thought would make a really nice fountain pen.

This is the section that came with the pen

This is the section made up

End result

Very happy with how it all turned out

The Esterbrook was a felt tipped marker that I converted to take a Pilot refill.

I think it took some sort of ink cartridge
Built a new section to take the new nose cone.

Looking good

Really Nice Blue Esty Nib Holder


I found this rod of blue yesterday when I was cleaning up as well as a stash of Esty nibs.
I was trying out some filling systems and ended up making this little baby.
The nib is a 1555 and it has a really nice ink flow to it.
I set it up as a squeeze filler and it holds a lot of ink.
Really good balance as well as the slip cap make for a really nice pen.

Orange HR Wearever Repair



I got this pen the other day and it looked as though someone had tried to drill some holes with the nib.
I had an Esterbrook 3556 Osmiridium tip nib that I was able to install into it.



I kept the HR feed so if I ever find a nice nib for it I will be able to reinstall it.
Any way another nice pen that I am able to get up and going and it will take the full range of screw in Esterbrook nibs as a bonus.
