The only quill or feather styluses I can find look cheap and cheesy. I wish I could find a quill “fountain” pen, as opposed to all of the dip pens being sold as fountain pens.
I once made a bunch of quill ballpoint pens for an event. It was easy to do and quite popular.
For anyone curious, you just remove the ink tube/tip from a bunch of ballpoints, cut the tips off the feathers, and slide the ink tubes into the hollow shaft of the feathers. It stays in place quite well through friction.

Mine was a dull plastic pen that isn’t compatible with my laptop for some reason.

I thought this was a family cartoon?
What? Antiquarian means a person who studies or collects antiques or antiquities?
Oh… ah, heh heh, wait… um…
