Described in contemporary advertising (Zanarian) as: "Spencerian Steel Pens. No. 2 (Counting House Pen). A larger pen that No. 1 (College). Fine pointed: adapted to the use of correspondents. Excellent for the bookkeeper."
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 three distinct versions of the Spencerian 2 nib in the Chappy's Nibs collection:
- Version 1: Counting House Pen
- Version 2: same as Version 1, adds a lateral endcap that says England
- Version 3: School Pen, all markings are on the interior
(These version names are defined for this collection alone, and are not necessarily industry-wide terms.)
The nib pictured below is Version 2.
