These poster pens are made of a non-rust nickel silver with a plastic handle. They produce very thin thins. Use them with the tooth blade uppermost. Clean with warm water after use. A new pen should be filled and worked gently on paper
until the color (ink) flows. Any possible sign of scratching will soon wear off with use.

Folded Ruling Pen
Introduced at Letterforum in 1995, this innovative lettering tool has been popular ever since. Use them to produce tight "brush lettering" with a pen or for wild, fun, expressive
lettering. These are the originals made by Matthew Coffin and highly praised by Carl Rohrs and Peter Thornton as superior to others that are available.

N75. Gillott 659 Nib
This tiny crowquill nib is good for x-heights around 1/16". It is more sturdy than other small nibs and less flexible. Can be used to write on somewhat textured paper. Is smaller and less flexible than the Hunt 108, another crowquill. Because of its tubular shaft, the Gillott 659 requires a special holder, Gillott Holder #51 (H75).
