Here's something to brighten up everyone's timeline. Yesterday she who is my girlfriend and I went to the pen museum in Birmingham.

Fun fact: back in the day 75% of all pen nibs were made in this city ✒️

It was a fun experience where you got to make your own nib on Victorian machines (under supervision) and got a free antique nib.

Pictures of my nib will be forthcoming as I left mine at my swimgf's place.

A display of all the pen bibs made under the name of William Mitchell, a pioneer of industrial pen manufacturer. The nibs are artistically arranged on an obelisk of black and red with the words William Mitchell in gold letters

Boxes of containers half full with nibs.

Not so fun fact: the women at the machines would have to fill a tubs (with about 18000 nibs) to get paid that day.
