Spencerian Steel Pens Are the Best

Spencerian Steel Pens Are the Best
"Spencerian Steel Pens are the best. Da locum melioribus."

Cover of a folded nib card, circa 1890s. Nib pens (or dip pens) were used for Spencerian Script and other writing styles. The metal tips, or nibs, of the pens were sold separately, and some came in small cardboard folders that had covers with elaborate designs like this.
