Some curious ono has collected II
mass Of interesting facts concerning
metallic pens. Some Of these refer
cnccs run back us far us the four
teenth and even the thirteenth cen
fury, and, curiously enough, in the
case of the manuscript of Robert OAR
tots, the forger scribe, is said to have
used a bronze pen In order to disguise
his writing and make his deception
more safe. a Roman metal pen IS
said to have boon found ut AOsta, not
Il mere stylus. hut II bronze pen slit,
and there Is some evidence of Il Dcn

the invention of printing In the hf.
tcCnth century More than II hun
drcd years ago some steel pens were
made In Birmingham for DIR. Pricstly.
and some of these placed into the
hands of Sir Josiah Mason in his early
days with Mr.. Harrison, but all seem to
have been lost. The first pen of metal
OF definite date. beyond all question.
Is one In II Dutch patent book Of 1711.
AT about the same time Il polite ode
of POpc's refers to Il "stcrl and golden
pen" hut these were evidently lux.
urlcs only, and 1t was not until about
the end of the first quarter of the last
century that metallic pens became

Notes and Queries" In the Birning-
ham Weekly Post definite evidence
has been given Of steel pens rs early rs
lS0G and more commonly in 1917. but
1t was about 1929 and 1921 that the
great revolution came by which pens
were made by cheaper proccss--thc

pens from steel rolled into tube fash

these required considerable labor to
