Description: Do you need a fountain pen? Not necessarily. But did the '50s need poodle skirts or Tupperware parties? Exactly. This pen carries stories from the age of hula hoops and flying saucer dreams, with more history than your Netflix queue.Glass nibs, dating back to the early 19th century, became popular as an alternative to metal nibs during the evolution of fountain pens. Especially favored in the 19th and early 20th centuries for tasks like creating carbon copies, they allowed multiple copies of a document to be made simultaneously. Unlike metal nibs, glass nibs are corrosion-resistant, making them durable and long-lasting.
