Woodex Pens

[ASCIIaardvark]

Is this a Woodex 35?

 

I got it at a pen-club meeting, and the prior owner didn't remember anything more than "it's an Indian-made pen"

 

I've never seen anything like it 'till I clicked the PDF caltalog @hari317 posted at the start of this thread.

 

I love what an oddball pen it is, but it's definitely a desk pen -- no way to carry this "nib up"

 

When I got it, there was some very dried-up ink, and I put it in an ultrasonic cleaner so long it shook off the trim-rings on one side. Was thinking about trying to fill those in with air-dry clay or something one of these days.

It could be from any of the numerous pen makers in India.

Congrats. I hope the pen has held up well for you.

Woodex Model 56:

This is a double headed pen as opposed to a double sided pen. Designed for pocket carry but slightly large size. One side has a JoWo no 6 threaded section which you can use with a std int cartridge or you can pour ink directly into the barrel(2.5ml). The other side has a friction fit Indian no 5.5 nib over an ebonite feed. This side is regular filling (ED) only with a 0.7ml ink capacity.  

I have been using one for a few months now. Zero dryouts. Reliable performer and lovely craftsmanship like most Woodex pens. 

Two color options. The right side one looks yellow but is khaki brown in real life. 

 

the nibs are oriented 90degress relatively. So when you switch sides the nib always faces up. Try it. 

 

 

 

the main side. 
 

the auxiliary side. 

 

clip imprints. WDX. 
 

Model 4 in the middle for size. 
 

 

 

cheers 

Hari.

thanks to this post, got a model 56 for myself. Personally, the first functional 2 sided pen, I have a couple more that are just gathering dust. This one, I am sure, is going to be put to use.
