So, whilst trolling Ebay and looking for a Travelling Dip Pen, which I found, I also bought some nibs. Some specific nibs but also some job lots and now I have an abundance of nibs, a lot of which I have never heard of before. So I sat sorting them today and have had to order plastic baggies so I can separate them all as I ran out of place and containers to store them safely! It is going to be a lot of fun testing them all out. Filpot also kindly sent me some nibs to try out and a Pen Pal in Germany sent me a bunch as well! Lots of fun to be had so, for those of you about to get letters from me, expect a lot of different fonts and styles. Oh, almost forgot, I got some new inks as well

Used to keep my dip pen nibs in a 35mm film canister. Back when I had one or two FPs and hadn't finished high school. Might still have it. Says "nibs" on top in black sharpie. Nothing vintage I don't think, just Speedball ones from the art supply store. Wonder if Osmiroid still makes ink...

Congratulations on all the nibs. Were there any stub nibs?
I was given some plastic container that diabetics testing tapes came in. They are perfect for storing nibs.
Sort of related... I have several beautiful dip pen holders I purchased from dippens.net, unfortunately they do not ship out of the United States. If you might want a custom made dip pen holder you might want to check out scriptoriumpens.com. They do ship internationally.
