{"product_id":"brass-feather-nib-pen-set-natural","title":"Brass Feather Nib Pen Set: Natural","description":"\u003cp\u003eA real feather, dyed, fitted with a brass dip nib. Made in Italy and boxed with a bottle of Italian ink and three additional nibs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural is the undyed feather, so it is the closest of the four to what a working quill actually looked like before anyone thought of selling one. Cream and brown with the markings left in, rather than a single flat color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFreund Mayer has been putting these sets together in Italy for a long time, and it shows in the parts you do not see in the photograph: the nibs seat properly, the ink is made for dip pens rather than fountain pens, and the box is built to be kept rather than thrown out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat You Are Getting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen, a bottle of Italian ink, and three spare nibs, in a printed gift box with a window cover measuring roughly 11 by 5.3 by 1.9 inches. No stand is included, so if you want it standing on a desk rather than lying in the box you will need one.\u003cbr\u003eThe feather is real and dyed, not a molded reproduction, so no two are identical and the barbs will sit slightly differently on yours than in the photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dip pen is not a fountain pen. There is no cartridge and no reservoir. You dip, you write four or five words, you dip again. That rhythm is the whole appeal for some people and the whole problem for others, so it is worth knowing which you are before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse It For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRitual writing, petitions, correspondence, and journaling where the act of writing is part of the point. Three nibs give you three line weights out of one pen, which is more range than most people expect from a set at this price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePair It With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set also comes in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildravensnest.com\/products\/brass-feather-nib-pen-set-black\"\u003eblack\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildravensnest.com\/products\/brass-feather-nib-pen-set-blue\"\u003eblue\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildravensnest.com\/products\/brass-feather-nib-pen-set-burgundy\"\u003eburgundy\u003c\/a\u003e. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildravensnest.com\/products\/wicca-sealing-wax\"\u003eWicca Sealing Wax\u003c\/a\u003e for finishing a letter, and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildravensnest.com\/products\/embossed-pink-pentacle-blank-leather-journal-5-x-7-in\"\u003eEmbossed Pentacle Leather Journal\u003c\/a\u003e to write in.
