eBay nib Score Review

[NikkiB]

Hi everyone,

Thought I might share my recent eBay purchase with you.  256 nibs bought for a grand total of around 9 pence each! I have just spent an enjoyable couple of ours sorting and testing them just for you! 

Please excuse my terrible writing (not even daring to call it calligraphy, lol!) I wasn't really paying attention to the rules, I just wanted to have a play with my new toys!

Sorry, hopefully this is the right way up...
 
edit...

Nope, that didn't work, but if you open the link under the image it does view the right way round

Thank you for the reviews! I'm always wondering about these lesser known vintage nibs.

[Erica McPhee]

Very cool! Your writing is lovely, too.

Thank you Nikki!
So fun!

Nikki,

My eye went directly to the Gillot penned writing!  So pretty & fluid!  I can tell that I'd love that nib!  Isn't it nice to score something special on eBay?  I'd probably be rich, if it weren't for eBay! :-)

Thanks ladies 

Janice, I sure wish there had been 212 Gillots, lol! I like to think I'm a pretty restrained ebayer but I can't resist a bargain 

I've been playing with the Bank 5 nib over the last few days seeing as that's the one I have most of and it's softened up quite nicely.  I expect the other nibs will behave quite differently with a bit of use.

perhaps I will have to supplement my review
