Described in contemporary advertising ([http://www.zanerian.com/ZanCat.html Zanarian]) as: "Spencerian Steel Pens. No. 38 (Signature Pen). Medium point. Stiff and smooth. For rapid writing." A [https://in.pinterest.com/pin/346706871291054636/ Spencerian sample card] includes the #38 Signature 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.

====Versions====
There are two distinct versions of the Spencerian #38 Signature Pen in the Chappy's Nibs collection:

* [[Spencerian 38 gray| '''Gray:''' ]] gray finish
* [[Spencerian 38 silver| '''Silver:''' ]] silver finish

(These version names are defined for this collection alone, and are not necessarily industry-wide terms.)

The nib pictured below is the '''Silver''' version.

====Photos====
Click any image for a full-resolution photo: 2200 x 640. The image with the ruler is 2300 x 1196.
