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.
Brandon McKinney's analysis of the markings and grindings date this version of the #239 Chancellor Pen as 1929-1939.
