The Clerk’s Desk Collection

Five vintage pointed nibs associated with the steady, professional writing of the working desk. The names alone tell the story. A Barrister's Pen. A Ledger Pen. A Bank of England Pen. A Telephone Pen. These are nibs that belonged to a particular world - offices, counting houses, long hours of correspondence by lamplight. Each one built for writing that needed to be legible, consistent, and dependable across a full day's work. They are not the most flexible nibs in the archive, nor the most expressive. But they are controlled, reliable, and quietly capable in a way that rewards a measured hand. Included in this set: • William Mitchell Barrister’s Pen E11 • John Heath Telephone Pen 0278 • John Heath Ledger Pen 508 • Geo W. Hughes Bank of England Pen 48 • Hinks, Wells & Co. Directory Pen 2185
