Described in contemporary advertising (Zanarian) as: "Gillott's No. 303. A pen used largely for drawing purposes. A good pen for preparing writing for photo-engraving. For copper-plate script and re-touching."

The Great Calligraphy Catalogue highlights the role of brothers John and William Mitchell (as well as son-in-law Joseph Gillott) in creating the nib-manufacturing industry.
