Nice mention of UK pen manufacturing as part of history.
Museums tell of manufacturing in post-WWII Birmingham, England
..Birmingham’s Pen Museum has cases filled with fountain pen nibs. The tour is cheap, the guide friendly, and there is an opportunity to write with a fountain pen and make a pen nib yourself at the end…

Great post. Have featured the Pen Museum on my blog in the past as well. Lovely place and they really are enthusiastic about the history of the trade and interacting with guests there. Cheers!
