I’m really very surprised that you seem to have forgotten to mention one of the finest fountain pen and above all, most respected gold nib manufacturers! Mabie Todd made some wonderful highly sort after nibs for their Calligraphic, Swan, Blackbird and Jackdaw fountain pen ranges.

Fine examples of vintage Mabie Todd pens in hard rubber or celluloid have always been sort after, but in recent years their value has shot up, possibly because of their investment value as well as their very high quality - and occasional fabulously flexible, solid 14ct gold nibs. The best Mabie Todds are now realising well over £1000.
