J. Herbin Metal Rollerball Pen - Coral

£16.25 GBP


The origins of J.Herbin date back to 1670. At around this time the French sailor, of that name, produced his first ink in his Paris workshop, "The Ink of Ships." This ink was an iron gall ink, required to be waterproof due to the weather and wet conditions associated with sailing a ship.

The recipe may have been formulated for the ship's master on his trips back and forth to India; or when he settled down in Paris to first start producing his sealing wax. Perhaps another sailor made his way to J. Herbin's workshop, and convinced him to produce a ship's ink.

This metal rollerball from J. Herbin takes short international standard ink cartridges.  The pen writes with a medium 0.5mm line width, has a closed length of 11.6cm, 13cm posted and weighs 24g. Please note it does not come with a giftbox or packaging.
