Birmingham Pen Co Model A Sakura Stone 0.6 mm Stub nib

Description:
Birmingham Ink Co, based in Pittsburgh, USA are tiny manufacturer making hand-turned pens and batch fountain pen inks. According to their website, they were set up in 2008 by two brothers, Nick and Josh (who also set up the Nemosine pen company which is no longer trading separately). In 2018 they produced their first hand-turned pens. At the time, their beautiful, moody ink colours were produced for them by a big manufacturer, but they've since started to make their inks inhouse.

This pen is handmade from premium acrylic in a pinkish brown called Sakura Stone. Pens are released in small batches of 20 or 30 or so as and when they're made and finishes change from time to time so catching a particular option means watching out for emails. The acrylic does have a slight odour which fades after some time.

The #6 nib is a lovely smooth 0.6mm stub and has Nemosine's distinctive butterfly decoration. (Nemosine nibs are still available via Birmingham Pen Co). This is an unusual size to find as a stock nib, most of which are around 1.0mm wide or larger. These smaller stubs are generally only available as a custom grind.
