Subject: [OldTools] A Letter To All Nib Nuts

Some of these Disstonites have made snide comments, such as, what is the
function, of the scroll work on my Davis level (manufactured in the 1880's)

Others have posted pictures of the Queen's tea service (or whatever), tools
that were of the presentation type (not those in use by the common laborer)
from the 17th Century, saying in effect, see, I told you so, these
artifacts
have decoration on them, which by default proves that the nib was forever
only a decoration. To this I have to say: What!!! Are you nuts!!!
