Free Books - Wonderful Vintage Books on Pens
Here is a link to a Victorian book on dip pens. The real jewel of it is found within the last 40 pages where the author takes you through the 17 or so steps it takes to make a nib with illustrations of the tools and craftsmen tables.
https://archive.org/details/historyofinventi00fole I downloaded and saved it in a .pdf format. Very nice read!

The site is a wealth of vintage publications from Videos to audio files to magazines and catalogs.
I could spend a week here and not find my way out. Make sure you go to the root of the website and view the different source files that are available. Library of Congress, Old Time Radio audio, and over a million vintage T.V. files of every kind. https://archive.org/ Don't bypass the Microfilms of newspapers. Sheesh! Enjoy!
