Porcupine quills where used for many reasons in the past. Most commonly they where used to create writing utensils and these can be seen in many museums nowadays.
In the 17th century, pens primarily consisted of quills made from bird feathers, commonly from geese or swans. These quills were sharpened to a point and dipped into ink for writing. The use of metal nibs began to emerge towards the end of the century, but quill pens remained the dominant writing instrument for most of that time. Ink was typically made from natural materials, such as carbon black or iron gall.

Quill pens were crafted from bird feathers, while metal nibs were often used with ink bottles for a more consistent writing experience. Ink was typically made from natural materials, including soot and water, which was then mixed to create various colors. The introduction of the fountain pen was still in its infancy, so most writing was done manually with these traditional tools.
