Bernie asks: You sure have a lot of Esterbrook nibs listed. Are you going to set up links to the ones you have listed?
Answer:
Yes, I'm working on it, slowly I admit. One of my
objectives is to find proof that these nibs really existed at some
point in time. Unfortunately, I suffered a computer crash and lost a
lot of the data I had collected. I have been scouring the web for a lot
of the references that I lost. After several unsatisfactory experiences
with wiki-type software, I decided to go old school with a 3 ring
binder to hold the data. I then massage the data and build a page for a
nib. Often, the only information I have is just enough to confirm
or suspect a nib's existence. I do have some photos and writing samples
up for some nibs, but I am afraid many of these nibs are gone forever
and will never be seen again. Thanks, Phil
