H23. Hunt Oblique Penholder
Speedball Oblique Pen holder

Black plastic hourglass shape penholder with offset for nib. For copperplate and Spencerian. The offset helps righthanders with the letter slant. Most lefthanders use a straight holder not this oblique holder. However, some use an oblique holder.

These pointed nibs work in this holder: Hunt 22, Hunt 56, Hunt 99, Hunt 100, Hunt 101, Hunt 103, Hunt 104,
Gillott 170, Gillott 303, Gillott 404, Gillott 1950
Hiro 700, Esterbrook 354, Brause Rose Nib.
The Nikko G nib will work okay, but the holder is not ideal for this nib.

Gillott 659 does NOT work with this holder; use H75 (Gillott Holder #51) instead.

The EF Principal does not work in this holder. See H48 Ziller Oblique Holder (Size) PRIN, and both the Blackwell Holders H50, H61

S507. Bent Needle Nose Pliers
Small Bent Needle Nose Pliers

Michael Sull selected these small pliers which are ideal for adjusting the flange on an oblique holder. Use them to adjust the curve of the flange for the nib you are using, to crimp the two sheets of metal in the curve a bit tighter if necessary, and to adjust the flat part of the flange to reduce the angle of the pen to the paper. They are small enough to fit in your pen pouch or traveling tool kit.

H50. Blackwell Wood Holder
Blackwell Oblique Holder

A remarkably simple design that holds most pen points for
Spencerian and copperplate. Finely crafted wood holder with a sturdy brass oblique arm. This penholder is designed to hold the nib at a less steep slant angle for ease of upstrokes. Also available with a plastic holder. Works with crowquill, Brause 66ef and almost all other nibs.

(Works with most all nibs except the very largest vintage nibs. Earlier holders did not work with the crowquill because the screw was too short. You may request a longer screw which fixes the problem. There is no charge for the longer screw if you have an older holder.)

***6/1/13*** This product is temporarily out of stock. It will not be available for approximately 4-6 weeks. If you order this item it will be placed on backorder for you.
