The Spencerian #121 Velvet Point Pen in the Chappy's Nibs collection has a gray finish, an oval-shaped vent hole, and is represented in a style similar to bank pens. The initial "V" in the VELVET marking is presented in a hollow typeface.
The Spencerian #121 Oblique Adapter in the Chappy's Nibs collection has a gray finish. It does not have a nib; it is used to mount other nibs at an oblique angle to the dip nib pen holder.  
 
[https://calligraphicarts.com/component/hikashop/product/114-spencerian-46-velvet-point Calligraphic Arts] described the #46 Velvet Point as having a medium point, with moderate flexibility. A related Etsy posting roughly dates the production of this nib as pre World War I: "Very early nibs from late 1800s to early 1900 have 'Made in England' stamped on them. Pre WWI have just 'England' and again, after the war there is no England marking."


[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.

The Spencerian #121 Oblique Adapter in the Chappy's Nibs collection has a gray finish. It does not have a nib; it is used to mount other nibs at an oblique angle to the dip nib pen holder.

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.
