Peerless Oblique Penholder

Designed by Michael Sull based on holders from the 1800’s, these holders feature snug fitting brass flanges set in a plastic handle. The angle of the flange is set so that the pen point touches paper at a less steep angle than other holders. These are designed to fit the standard Hunt 55 or 101 size nib. Open or close the flange slightly with needle nose pliers to fit other size nibs.
