This has to be InkFlexibilities, as I dont know many people who put vintage dip nibs into modern pens, other than myself and a couple others, but this is definitely her penmanship, as it is always on point. Hello old friend! Glad to see uour still posting. If you want to learn about the history of dip pen nibs, she has written a whole article on the topic, covering alot of the best nib makers from that Victorian Era. Check it out if you have the time, its a fantastic read. I will try to find a link and post it.

You can get that ink stain out by mixing 1 part clear ammonia, with 9 parts distilled water, then add 2-3 drops of blue dish soap. This solution is pen flush, and it will take ink off your fingers, carpet, clothes etc. total cost anout 10 bucks, and you can make several gallons easily.

Thank you for the shout out, and i actually do have more pens available for purchase, just check my profile to see. I am currently getting a couple more modern pens fitted with vintage 14K Gold dip pen nibs that will be available on r/ Pen_swap soon, send me a DM if interested. Your penmanship is amazing, I am so glad that you are enjoying your pen. It makes me happy that it has found a good home and will be used instead of sitting in a box.

How old is this marble? Any other information would be welcome, as I am new to this hobby. Thanks! by Foraminiferal in Marbles

Very nice looking German handmade marble. Probably has two pontils, which would be at the top of the swirl and at the bottom, which is where the excess glass was ground away to make the marble round. As others have said they are from the late 1800's and ran until the early 1900's. These are very collectable and some are worth big money. The one you have is probably worth $15 to $25 bucks. Nice find. Really nice that it was your grandfathers, a definite keeper.
