Pen Nib motorcycles were produced in 1925, and made by H. W. Boulton, owner of the Penn Garage, Lloyd Hill, Penn, Wolverhampton.
Only small numbers of motorcycles were made. These were fitted with two-stroke and four-stroke Royal Ruby engines, Albion gearboxes and Druid forks, housed in a frame from H.B. for whom Boulton was an agent. The distinguishing feature that gave them their name was the fuel tank, which was formed and painted to resemble a pen-nib.
Bill Boulton's business was sold on the 13th of November, 1925, and no further machines were made.
The sale included motorcycle and car parts, various workshop machines and tools, a Sunbeam Landaulette which was Bill Boulton's personal machine, a Ford Landaulette, autos by Morris Cowley and BSA, motorcycles from Sun Vittese and Orbit, and a number of bicycles.
