Thread-topic:	Burlington Route pen nibs

There is an auction on eBay for Esterbrook pen nibs stamped “Burlington Route” at

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ink-Dip-Calligraphy-Nibs-Esterbrook-Oval-Point-788-Burlington-Route-Falcon-048/232696095397?hash=item362dc4a2a5:g:MP8AAOSwGBdapvx6

>From what I can see on-line, a number of companies had Esterbrook supply pen nibs stamped with the company name, including the CB&Q.

Can anyone expand on this?

(And for the younger element, before ballpoint pens such as Bic were fountain pens which had an internal ink reservoir, and before there was a pen with a steel nib which was dipped in an ink bottle, for writing.)
