Another Japanese eyedropper from NYH midnight blue ebonite with Pilot nib and clip.

[Oliver X]

This is another Japanese style (shut-off valve) eyedropper made from NYH midnight blue ebonite. The donor pen from which I took the nib, feed and clip was a Pilot Custom 743. The nib is the #15 FA (falcon) which is a wonderful, soft, semi-flexible nib. This is one of those pens where 90% of the work is invisible. The valve mechanism is made from ebonite, stainless steel, and Ultem for the packing and shaft retainers. The section is cut for a Bock 250 housing and the nib sits in an ebonite housing I made to fit. Ink capacity is around 2ml.
