Onoto Plunger Filling Pen – Wet Noodle (SOLD)

Onoto Plunger Filler – Wet Noodle (On Ebay)

Here is an English classic: the Onoto pen by Thomas De La Rue company. It’s one of the first plunger filled pens ever made. The BCHR on this pen has faded to a dark brown color. The chasing on the body is worn though visible. Imprints still look pretty good. The slip cap fits snuggly. The 14kt. Onoto nib with over/under feed is a really nice, smooth writing F stub (0.5mm) with pretty good line variation for so fine a stub. It has very easy flex. Not quite a paintbrush, but still flexes with ease. However, the ink will start railroading after a bit unless you unscrew the plunger (this is pretty common on these pens). Once you do unscrew the back the ink just pours out. If you are looking for a flex pen for thinner, drier inks or one to get massive sheen look no further.
