Welcome to ChappysNibs.com
O.K. Chapman (Chappy) was an avid collector of nibs for dip pens. He collected an extraordinary number of nibs, plus several inkwells, nib boxes, a few fountain pens, and other nib ephemra as well. The chappysnibs Website is intended as an online version of Chappy's collection--to share with others images and details of those nibs, and ideally, to share the vision and enthusiasm that Chappy brought to everything he did.
- The site includes an inventory of Chappy's collection (the written inventory doesn't fully match the actual nibs--actual nibs are being listed here on the front page).
- I'm about half-way through taking photographs of these nibs
- Chappy lived in Montana, which is why there are some Montana-specific nibs in his collection
- I imagine that the future of ChappysNibs.com will include opening the site up--to allow others to share their own photographs and descriptions. But for now, the site is limited to Chappy's own nibs.
Resources
Several resources have been of considerable assistance in identifying and describing each nib. These extraordinary web sites have been invaluable:
- AAAndrew's Steel Pen blog
- Brandon McKinney's Vintage Nibs site
- The Esterbrook Project
- Fountain Pen Network Forum
- Blam Nib site (Swedish / English)
