Majohn P140 Feed: Ebonite or Just Plastic? Does it even matter?

Is the Majohn P140 feed ebonite or plastic? In this short, I test the Majohn P140 fountain pen feed with four quick checks to answer the ebonite vs plastic question — and whether it actually matters for writing performance.

Tests used (quick demo):
🔍 Visual inspection — injection-moulded marks vs machined/hand-finished
✂️ Cut/sand — texture & colour beneath the surface (ebonite vs plastic)
👃 Smell test — that distinct rubber/“tyre” ebonite scent when warmed or sanded
🧪 Chemical (acetone) — feed reaction comparison

Result: The Majohn P140 ebonite feed and a KanWrite ebonite feed behave the same in every test — strongly suggesting the P140 feed really is ebonite.
Does it matter? For most fountain pen users, performance is what counts — and the P140 performs beautifully.
