The Aurora 88
Aurora of Turin first launched the 88 in 1947, and it remains one of the classic Italian fountain pens. The Aurora 88 Ebonite Magenta keeps the familiar tapered torpedo shape with chrome trim on the cap, body and section.
Why ebonite?
Ebonite is a hardened rubber that feels warm and slightly soft in the hand. On the Aurora 88 Ebonite Magenta, purple and magenta tones swirl through the material, so every pen in the edition has its own pattern.
Nib and filling
Aurora makes its own nibs in-house. The Aurora 88 Ebonite Magenta has an 18K gold nib, which we offer in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium and Broad, and fills from a bottle with a built-in piston.
