The quill pen is considered the first writing instrument ever invented. It was introduced around 700 A.D. and is made from a bird's quill feather, one of the largest feathers on a bird. The quills of the goose are the most common feathers for the making quill pens. A quill pen usually lasted about two weeks, after which it is had to be replaced. Most writers kept several quills on hand all the time.
