The William Mitchell heritage in making pen nibs began whilst working with his brother John Mitchell in the early 1820s. William Mitchell established his own business in 1825 to become one of the leading nib manufacturers and famous for lettering pens. Almost 100 years later William Mitchell merged with Hinks, Wells & Co another pen manufacturer to form British Pens employing around 1000 people in the Bearwood Road area of Birmingham.
During the early 1960s British Pens acquired the pen business of other pen manufacturers Perry & Co and John Mitchell once again reuniting the two brothers. Joseph Gillott who were famous for their artist drawing and mapping nibs amalgamated with British pens in 1969.
And does a jolly fine job of it too.
It holds nibs, any idea what makes it multi-purpose though? I tried using it as a crow-bar - \'total fail. It\'s not that then. Chopsticks perhaps?
I think I\'ve got it; put a nib in one, then use two for chopsticks and use the nib to nab or stab the pea that tries to flee, you see.
