An Amazing Gift...

For my birthday last month, I was treated to an extraordinary gift.  Two friends had gone to the estate sale of an architect and secured for me a parcel of vintage drawing goodies.  You wouldn't think that simple rolled tidbits of metal like nibs could have actually been better manufactured way back whenever, but they were.  Naturally, it took a bit after the wild time that was my birthday (evidence of which can be witnessed here... ) before I got to take them for a test drive, but the above was the first quick quickie I hashed out with my new toys.
