An extraordinary vintage Mabie Todd fountain pen in red mottled ebonite ( was given a collective name for red ripple and woodgrain ebonites).

The pattern on the ebonite is beautiful and in very good condition. The feeder is also made of same ebonite with matching pattern. There is no sign of discolouration. There is very minimal brassing of the clip but doesn't pop out that much at all. The lever filler works perfectly. Condition rating [B]

The nib: Is a champion. 14k gold Mabie Todd branded Fine nib that has supreme amount of flex like a wet noodle. It's not always you find such a nib in such a desired material pen. The ebonite feed keeps up with the inkflow nicely. To get the most flex performance out of the nib I recommend a wetter ink to use in this pen.

Please see the writing video (keep the audio on for the ambiance 😂) and photos here:

Note: I am a medical doctor by profession with a full-time day job. I do this purely out of passion for fountain pens, specially vintage flex pens. I can safely say that I understand flex nibs and have owned a lot of them over the years. If you have been looking for a vintage pen with a flex nib, please drop me a text. If it is not this particular pen, I might be able to find the right pen at the right price for you as I am trimming down my massive collection. Many thanks.
