I was stumped when I got a gorgeous vintage 1940's or so American Pencil Co. #1128 calligraphy pen handle from an auction... I wasn't familiar with installing a nib in the metal flange and wings at the tip, nor could I find a video here on YouTube showing how to insert a nib into this holder. Soooooo, I figured it out and decided to make a short video for my Artsy Friends here on YouTube!

I hope this quick tip helps other artists out there. 🖋️😍
