2 x Black Latex Ink Sacs Bladders plus a 5ml bottle of Shellac

 

These traditional latex ink sacs are for repairing and restoring most vintage Lever Filling and Button Filling fountain Pens. They are made from a mould dipped in liquid latex several times. They are cured, dried and dusted with french chalk ready for use.

 

These sacs are hand made using traditional methods. Some slight variations in finish and shape are perfectly normal.

 

All the sacs are a minimum of 75mm long, simply cut them to size to suit the barrel length of your pen.

 

Fix them in place with Shellac, available on a separate listing or as a kit with 2 or 10 sacs.

 

To select the correct size measure the diameter of the nipple on the section of your pen.

Also measure the usable inside diameter of the barrel, taking account of the pressure bar.

 

Then use the size guide below to choose the right sac for your pen:-

 

 

If there is a conflict, use the sac which will fit the barrel most comfortably.
