You kill me with envy Thomas!! I love the pens but what pops my eyes is the equipment on the back!! Would love to have just a tiny part of what you have :)

What is the equipment on top of the table on the right side? Small Milling machine? engraving machine?

Hello, this is possibly the first small fingerprint of the little fountain pen museum. Big table left side: Two Wolff- Jahn turnery machines, the left one had been used by Hebborn/ Luxor and later was bougt by my grandfather. The right one was used by Reform(old) and later by ERO. The turneries had rapod- closing tongs and one worker could make hundreds of pen parts per day. You see some some drills and winding makers on the right side of the desk, also a set of these colletts, one for each single diameter. There are several small machines on the right table which I only partially can identify, but these came from nib- makers (Degussa, Mutschler, Bock) The machine on the rigt side is an imprint machine from Mutschler/ Reform (new) Imprints were made by a hot metal stamp. Engravings were made by mill cut.

Kind Regards

Thomas

A museum that  shows how pens and nibs  were produced is very interesting!! I will visit it for sure if I have the chance!

Do you have any closer pictures of the nib machines you can share with us?

Hello and sorry, I am afraid that we deviate from our original topic. Here are some of the small machines for nib production: The machines in the front with the handles sueeze and bent the raw nib to the right position. The two parts left and right in the background cut out the nib from the metal band, compresses the nib with an enormous pressure and applicates the nib imprint. The pressure is asymmetric so the nib density and in follow the hardness and flexibility on top and base of the nib is different. The process seems to be rough but the holder has zero tolerance. The other parts containing meters are for testing the products. The part in the middle of the background contains some cables, it looks like a machine to insert and weld the nib- tip. But it is surely not part of an assembly- line, possibly for expermentals with new developments. The little block in the center contains a conic gap to decide if the nib is FM B or BB. The part right (with an extra pic) is a flex- tester.

Kind Regards, Thomas
