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
