I use them in a crowquill holder - I used it to draw the crows here 
I bought mine with the nib attached when I was a young girl in the dark ages, learning calligraphy by candlelight 
and I didn't even know the nibs came off! I also use it to write the bylines of bigger pieces I do. How about we do a nib exchange - I'll send you some vintage American nibs to exchange for some crowquills? 
Linda, I remember that post - fantastic!!
What do you mean by bylines? Are these the lines that say who's the author or something like that?
About your proposal – that would be great!! I'll send you a couple of them, I guess they wear out fastly, like most of these smallish nibs do! And if you don't like them you don't have to send anything, really. They just sit here in my cupboard
