{"product_id":"the-turned-up-nib-selection","title":"The Turned-Up Nib Selection","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour vintage turned-up nibs from three Birmingham and English makers, each solving the same problem in their own way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe turned-up tip wasn't unique to the Waverley. Once Macniven \u0026amp; Cameron's design proved its worth, other manufacturers began producing their own versions, each with a slightly different degree of curve and a different character on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set brings together four: Hinks, Wells \u0026amp; Co.'s Rob Roy Pen, a flexible nib that shares its literary naming with the Waverley itself, both drawn from the novels of Sir Walter Scott; Joseph Gillott's Hollow Point Pen, also flexible; the rigid Plexograph from Geo W. Hughes of Birmingham; and, also from Hughes, the General Post Office Pen, its name a small reminder of the desks and counters it was once destined for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween them, the set shows the range the turned-up tip could offer. Two are flexible, two are rigid, and the degree of curve varies across all four. Each nib has been checked from the archive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a small selection, limited by what the archive currently holds of each. Once a particular nib is exhausted, it may not return in the same form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in this set:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHinks, Wells \u0026amp; Co. - The Rob Roy Pen\u003cbr\u003eJoseph Gillott - Hollow Point Pen No. 11 (B)\u003cbr\u003eGeo W.
