La Babillarde no. 2770

Gilbert & Blanzy-Poure belongs to a long tradition of French writing-instrument manufacture. Its Blanzy-Poure roots date back to 1846, when Pierre Blanzy and Eugène Poure established a metal pen-nib factory in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. The company gained recognition for the quality and variety of its products, receiving awards at national and international exhibitions.

Over time, mergers brought together the names Gilbert, Blanzy-Poure and Conté. Vintage nibs and packaging bear markings such as Blanzy, Poure & Cie, Gilbert & Blanzy-Poure, Blanzy-Conté-Gilbert and Blanzy, France. These names form part of a shared manufacturing heritage encompassing nibs for handwriting, calligraphy and drawing.

La Babillarde Cémentée no.2770 is a vintage French dip pen nib with a smooth, rounded writing point. Its fairly rigid construction makes it suitable for everyday handwriting, with limited pressure-based line variation.
