You guys, I was searching the Internet for anything on what kind of writing instruments Tolkien used, and somebody posted an actual dip pen that he owned and which is on display in a museum, and it was not what I was expecting.

SWIRLY. BLUE. PLASTIC.

Not wood or plated brass like many antique dip pens that have survived. PLASTIC. And it's SWIRLY.

The dip nibs were Esterbrook 413 Relief nibs, and at least one fountain pen was an Osmiroid 65. Thank you, FountainPenNetwork!)

Usé una pluma fuente de la marca Osmiroid; no recuerdo cuál plumilla usé ni la marca de la tinta.

Despre Osmiroid

In jurul anului 1830, James Perry dezvolta penita de otel, asa cum era ea cunsocuta la vremea respective, imbunatatind designul si aducandu’I un plus de tehnica la comportarea acesteia pe hartie. Perry era implicat in activitatea didactica in Londra, conducand doua scoli in acest oras, una de fete si una de baieti. Se pare ca, satul de ascutirea penelor elevilor in timpul orelor, a dezvoltat o…
