Might This Be An Artist's Nib?

[sidthecat]

This pen arrived today: a bit beat-up but what a set of tines!

If it isn't an artist's nib it's his first cousin...but what do the experts think?

Hmmm, it looks like they have a pair of knees.

[T4TEXAS]

I'd say they kneed some work.

Oh, it's a mess, but one sees potential in the little thing. I'm trying to get Mauricio's attention.

 

It's a ringtop, too. Perhaps it belonged so a lady much more exquisite than myself.

See if it writes well as is. Otherwise, a little straightening will make that thing fantastic. I can't tell you if it is an artists nib, but writing with it will be artistic for sure.

The sac is disintegrated and the barrel has a patch of goo on it that was probably a label so it needs a proper restoration.

Mr. Mottishaw is going to try to straighten it out. Fingers crossed; tines uncrossed.
