Perry Pens and What They Will Do describes this as "a fine-pointed stub pen. Very popular, and well adapted for backhand writing."
Described in contemporary advertising (The 1883 Perry Catalog) as, "#239 – The Chancellor Engrossing – Gray – A medium stub pen, much liked for back hand." Finishes include Gray and Gold. Use of the "Double Chancellor" descriptor was dropped after this catalog came out. The 1938 Perry Catalog says, "Chancellor - Firm, small stub. The perfect pen for backhand writing. Gray finish. Gold plated"
The Perry Project describes this nib as "a straight-bodied pen with a short stub nib and a crescent moon vent hole. Little flexibility. Gray finish." The #239 Chancellor is distinguished from a nib with the same number, but a different descriptor--the Perry #239 Engrossing Short Nib.
The Steel Pen site says that James Perry and Josiah Mason were among the the foundational innovators and inventors who took the craft of making pen nibs and turned it into an industry. Perry began by making his own nibs by hand, then partnering with Mason, who would manufacture the Perryan-branded nib for decades. Mason’s factory in Birmingham (London) eventually became the largest pen factory in the world, and in 1876 Mason and Perry's companies would merge, with Wiley & Sons, to create the new Perry & Co. After the decline of dip pens, in 1961, British Pens acquired the pen businesses of Perry & Co and other nib manufacturers like John Mitchell and Joseph Gillott's. The Perry brand is no longer active.
