Indian Fountain Pens

[Abhik]

You are very generous in conferring doctorates, e.g. on Mr. GL Rao of Guider and Mr. Rafi of Kim.

 

Hari,

Two reasons:

1. They deserve some honorary title for their contributions to Indian pens.

2. Heck! When so many persons are using power and public relations to get themselves a doctorate, I have decided that some of these people should also be conferred such titles from my own virtual "University of Brahmam"... :-))))))

Cheers!

Brahmam, have you received your Kim pens yet?

[brahmam]

Not yet Hari... In the meantime, Pratap (GEM pens) told me that he has a few fine ebonites and acrylics (with Cross nib) for sale and I might pick one up tomorrow or in a few days. Since GEM is in Chennai, it would be easier for me to just drop by. Too much swamped at work...

Sounds good, will you be posting photos? I am curious to see which cross nib? I bought some excellent EDs fitted with Parker Duofold nibs and Sheaffer Lifetime Nibs from them a few years ago. have not spoken to them in a long while. convey my regards to them if possible.

Absolutely!

Hi all...

 

I have started a thread in the Pictures and Pen Photography section called 'Some Old Indian Fountain Pen Brands'...a result of my coming across really old brands, brands that are no longer being produced...as I have said there, the thread is going to be a 'thread in progress', i.e., I will be posting pics of whatever old brands I have...a 'new' old brand on a regular basis, maybe once in ten days or so...I have posted pictures of the first pen in that series...this is a pen called PARKO...you can see it here

 

The next pen will be up in a couple of days...I will update it here too...

Hello Friends,

 

I am Vikas here and I am interested in making a list of "FOUNTAIN PEN MANUFACTURERS" in India.

 

Incase anyone is aware of the WELLKNOWN BRANDS of FOUNTAIN PENS which are made in India, then please suggest and I shall do the remaining search as to its manufacturer / source / main retailer etc.

 

I would liek to focus on EBONITE / CELLULOID / CRYSTAL /ACRYLIC / STEEL / GOLD / SILVER / HANDCRAFTED WOOD ETC

 

The names that I am already aware of are:-

 

1. RATNAM

2. WALITY

3. AIRMAIL

4. VARUNA

5. GUIDER

6. SWARNAS

7. PRASAD

8. LEADER

9. ADVOCATE

10. BRAHMAM

 

Please do assist me in adding as many names as possible. Also incase you have the address / state / store where you get these from then also let me know.

 

I further plan to meet all the manufacturers personally and then collate their writeups, their complete sets, their plans and share in this network.

 

This would include extensive travelling at my end, thus I have earmarked the year 2011 as the year of THE FOUNTAIN PENS and i am confident that it shall be worth it.

 

I have targetted to come up with a WHOLESOME LIST at the earliest so that i can plan my travels accordingly. (needless to state that i shall be sharing my memoirs and experience though this network)

 

Eagerly awaiting response from one and all.

 

Thanks and Warm Regards,
