While out antiquing this weekend, I found this ad for Sheaffer’s 14K gold nibs that included a range of all the nib widths that were available in 1950 when this ad was published. Quite a variety was available and I’m curious what exactly a “Flexible coarse” and a “Coarse” nib were. Any ideas?
Coarse is the same as a Double Broad (BB) or (B2)
Coarse is another name for Double Broad/BB/B2 nibs
Oh, thank you! I wondered about that.
LOVE these vintage pen ads. I have several framed in my library as art, and they make me happy every time I look at them!
Now that is a poster I’d love to have!
