Wooden Dip Pens

Guidetail Pen Wooden Carved Dip Pens
These two wooden pens both have a common feature; "stanhopes." These are tiny glass lens incorporated somewhere in the design which contain a microphotograph image, generally the souvenir of a city.

These pen holders and dip pen are carved in the Black Forest with great skill. The type of calligraphy one would write with these elbow pens is called copperplate or roundhand.

Beautiful grape leaves and grapes are artfully carved on one of these wooden pens. Wheat with a little mouse is featured on the other pen. Both have ivory nib endings. Here are six more wooden pens. Hands. loose balls caged and botanical motifs are common. The gun, however, was carved on St. Helena by an imprisoned French soldier.
