Hi all!
 

Been a while, still recovering from the L.A. Pen Show!
 

Was going through my pen booty and I came across this interesting nib! Photoshop 14k, Butte Montana. Never seen it before but then again, I have not seen much in my young days...

 

Any help would be appreciated with regard to information, history, etc.

I have a closely matching pen and nib, maybe even the same. I want to say it is from 'Al's Photo Shop' and it appears to be a rebranded mabie todd. I'll see if I can dig it up tonight.

Yep, same nib. Mine is missing the tipping on one side. if you are selling this one, PM me your price.

Now I immediately start thinking of collateral questions:

- enough of a market that rebranded pens (with an imprint including a nib) were a going concern for a local business in Butte?

- with a quick bit of Internet research, turns out Butte in 20s had about 60,000 people (with potentially even more in the surrounding area) which put it firmly in the category of larger cities (and markets)

- or did Al just really like pens
