<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 385738, member: 360&quot;]Ebonite browning is extremely common. Find any piece of antique ebonite-ANYTHING, and it will almost certainly have at least some of it. I collect old fountain pens and old pens made of ebonite often brown due to age and light-exposure. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know one guy (a fellow collector) who took one of his antique pens to work. He went home and forgot he left it on his desk. He came back the next day and it was brown. </p><p><br /></p><p>Why? Because he&#039;d left it on his desk, and the sunlight had browned it. The only way to prevent this is to keep it away from direct sunlight. Methods do exist for re-blacking browned-off ebonite, however.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
