I Wonder If Anyone Still Uses These P8224695

I've been struggling to come up with ideas for my camera club's September theme (disappearing technologies). Graham's mum had done a bit of ticket writing when he was a child and he kept an old tin full of nibs that she had used so I had a little play. Now I have to come up with another couple of ideas. I figured this would also work for Week 31 of the 52 week challenge - old.

How wonderful to still have them

[Babs]

I think David still has a tin of nibs in one of the drawers in our study.

[Diana]

How interesting, I have never seen these before.

[Monica]

Nice example of a disappearing technology!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Looks like a good one for the theme. I may still have a couple somewhere that were my dad's.

[Joan Robillard]

I bet someone does

[KoalaGardens🐨]

interesting!

[Rob Z]

Fascinating aren't they?

[haskar]

I have some nibs and holders for them. I didn't like these projects because there was always a blot somewhere.

[Carole Sandford]

Interesting, haven’t seen them without the pen before.

[Pyrrhula]

I`ve use those . Long time ago for calligraphy writings.

[narayani]

I have something similar from my father…

[Hazel]

Some great detail! (At first glance these looked a bit like offensive weapons....)

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot. Writing was an art in those days.

[Valerie Chesney]

My uncle was a ticket writer & I vaguely remember these.
He did exquisite writing.

[Julie Duncan]

Yes, for drawing! Nice shot here, and interesting nibs. :)

[Wylie]

Probably very special for calligraphy!
