Continue from my previous article, when I discussed how the predecessor of fountain pen was gold nib dip pens of the Victorian era. In this article, I want to introduce a couple more gold nib dip pen manufacturers from the 1800s, including Albert G. Bagley, Edward Todd, Mabie Todd, E. S. Johnson, A. Morton and Aikin Lambert.
