Storing nibs
I've got a Pelikan M205 and a couple Franklin Christoph pens with multiple nibs each. Six of the nibs are custom grinds from three different people.
I've only got ten nibs at the moment, so it's not a huge collection. I was thinking of using some kind of small plastic storage container and line the partitions with something. But I also need labels.
How do you all store and keep track of your extra nibs, not attached to pens?
Thanks,
Kent

Re: Storing nibs
They are in a pile in a bag. Special ones get their only tiny (1"x1") baggie. Some of my replacement nibs came in little plastic cylinders so those get reused. But most of my donor nibs are not worth more than being in the bag and that is only so that they don't get lost in the parts box. Some nicer nibs/nib units specific to a certain pen go in that pen's box in one of the little baggies or cylinders. I don't label them once they become donors.
Your situation is a little different, so one of those $2 divided trays would work fine.

Re: Storing nibs
I use a manila coin envelope I picked up at Staples. I write the nib info on the envelope. If the nib came with a box or plastic container to protect it I'll leave it in the box and put it in the envelope.

Re: Storing nibs
I keep almost all of my spare nibs in an Altoids tin. These are the service/swap parts for my user pens. I have only one nib/feed assembly that is kept in a plastic tube, and that is the spare nib for my Pelikan M-1000.
