Camlin 36 Red Fine Nib Eye Dropper Fountain Pen

Classic red Camlin fountain pen with silver cap, fine nib, and eyedropper filling.
Lightweight 15 g plastic body with large ink capacity—ideal for students and everyday writing.

Product Description

The Camlin 36 is a classic, reliable fountain pen featuring a vibrant red barrel paired with a sleek silver-finished cap for a timeless look. This unassuming yet functional pen represents Camlin's trusted quality and long-standing reputation since the company was founded in 1931 near Mumbai, India.

Designed for everyday writing comfort, the pen comes with a smooth fine nib that delivers consistent ink flow, making it ideal for students, professionals, and hobby writers. The steel nib (gold-tone color) provides reliable performance for daily note-taking, journaling, and school work.

This model uses an eyedropper filling system, offering a large ink capacity and making it convenient for long writing sessions without frequent refills. Despite its small size, the eyedropper system holds a good amount of ink—simply unscrew the section and fill with an eyedropper or syringe. The pen is a "no nonsense fountain pen with sufficient ink storage capacity".

Its sturdy build, lightweight feel (just 15 grams), and simple, functional design make it an excellent student-grade pen. At 12.5 cm capped (14 cm posted), it's slightly smaller than an Lamy Safari but still comfortably conventionally sized. The plastic body with metal cap provides durability without adding weight, and the cap features a silver-finished metal construction with clip.
