The fountain pen nib is easily switched over to the super smooth flowing rollerball tip. It comes in both Solid Brass and Stainless steel so you can choose the one that best suits your EDC aesthetic. It’s precision machined using Swiss-type turning techniques. This eye-catching design uses a screw on cap that’s postable on the back during use. The body has three windows cut through so you don’t need to take the pen apart to check your ink level.

Excellent Ink

The Machine Era Fountain will easily fit Monteverde, Kaweco, Pelikan international standard cartridges and included in the kit is a black cartridge from Monteverde. Also included is a plunger type converter that lets you use whatever you want to suck up from an inkwell.

Weight and balance are pivotal in a piece of stationery like this. Machine Era Co have specifically designed every inside and outside diameter, holes and slots, to put all the weight in the right places. It isn’t too heavy to write fast, but also has a pleasing heft and quality in hand feel unlike die drawn metal or plastic pens.
