William Mitchell's Pen Collection

 

I have inherited this collection from my grandfather.

It has about 110 to 125 nibs intact and about 60 to 70 years old minimum, I guess.

Please if someone has information about this collection please advice, its value and details.

You could try getting in touch with the Birmingham Pen Museum - penmuseum@penroom.co.uk.

It may seem like a hassle if you're not into it, but I would make a detailed inventory of each item, based on the engravings or marks on these nibs. A decent loupe would be helpful. Good luck!

You may want to consider taking very high-resolution photos of each nib individually. I believe most of the nibs look like dip pen nibs. Most are probably steel, but some could be gold (plated or solid).

As a collection they may have some historical interest to a limited number of collectors but I am afraid the monetary value isn't great.

That is an interesting collection to say the least......

Bhai-sahib; first, your pictures are of rather poor quality for anyone to give you an estimate. Second: almost all the nibs are dip-pen nibs, meaning, they are not worth much as far as monetary value is concerned.
