This "pen" is made out of wood and sort of is like a dip pen It has a fountain pen like cap and barrel and a dip pen like mount to hold the nib.

"Nib" is a solid piece of metal, no slots, feeds just a solid piece of metal. To be honest i'm not sure if this is a writing instrument to begin with.

I have tried to dip and write with this and it seems to work. Im no sure if this is a writing tool or some other item (i.e carving tool)

I have no idea what this really is. Its basically an ebay purchase without really knowing what it was :(. any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Shalitha that is an interesting find! I would venture a guess that it is indeed a writing or marking instrument, broadly, a stylograph. It was probably made for a specific surface, or, for multiple carbon copies. A fountain pen will not produce enough pressure while writing for carbon copies or irregular surfaced material

Looks like a reamer to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And I didn't have the heart to tell her why.
And there wasn't a part of me that didn't want to say goodbye.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
