	Described in contemporary advertising ([http://www.zanerian.com/ZanCat.html Zanarian]) as: "Spencerian Steel Pens. No. 2 (Counting House Pen). A larger pen than No. 1 (College). Fine pointed: adapted to the use of correspondents. Excellent for the bookkeeper." A Spencerian sample card (see [https://www.sil.si.edu/Exhibitions/Voyages/trade-literature.htm Smithsonian Libraries Exhibit on trade literature]) included a sample of the #2 Counting House Pen among 11 samples--listing it as a "Fine point. Excellent for bookkeeping. Holds plenty of ink." Another [https://in.pinterest.com/pin/346706871291054636/ Spencerian sample card] included the #~~2 Counting House~~ Pen among 26 samples.		A [https://in.pinterest.com/pin/346706871291054636/ Spencerian sample card] included the #30 Bronze Falcon Pen among 26 samples. It is included in the section of the card for Medium Pointed nibs.

	[http://hans.presto.tripod.com/nibs/spencerian.html The Blam Nib site] says that The Spencerian Steel Pen Co. was formed In 1858 as a subsidiary of the Ivison Phinney Publishing Company, later known as Ivison, Phinney, Blakeman, & Co., and finally in 1869 as Ivison, Blakeman, Taylor, & Co. The New York City-based pen company (Spencerian Steel Pen Co.), was a pen distribution company that purchased its nibs from an English manufacturer, having no factories of its own. The Spencerian pens were made in Birmingham, England, by Sir Josiah Mason for Perry & Co. This explains why many Spencerian nibs have markings for both New York, N.Y. and England.
