M. Myers and Son London Ltd - Post Office Pen / Nib  No.1896 Fine Point

Stevige, soepele, spitse pen, welke geschikt is voor zwelschrift.

De Copperplate, ook wel zwelschrift of Anglaise genoemd, is een verfijnd cursief schrift. Worden andere kalligrafische schriftsoorten geschreven met een brede punt, dit sierlijke en elegante handschrift wordt geschreven met een spitse pen.

Door druk uit te oefenen op de penpunt of nib ontstaat een breder effect. Daardoor vloeien de letters sierlijk over de pagina's. De in Copperplate geschreven tekst leent zicht uitstekend voor versieringen, met name voor weelderige krullen.

Surprisingly bold and expressive, the Myers Post Office Pen is a classic office nib with a subtly stub-shaped tip and semi-flex touch. Because of its large body and vent hole, this pen can hold a considerable volume of ink, so it's a practical choice for correspondence.

Thanks to the protective coating applied to all dip pens (even new ones produced today), these 80-year-old pens are in excellent vintage condition. They've been checked for rust and other defects by our experts and are ready to return to service on your desk.

As with any dip pen, you will need to remove the protective coating so that ink will stick to the nib consistently. To remove the coating, simply dip your new pen in ink a couple of times and wipe it off. Repeat until the ink coats the nib completely and doesn't bead up. This process takes about 15 seconds and only needs to be done once, before you use the pen for the first time.
