Carter INX Pen and Pencil Set. With a very uncommon hard case made out of pearl/marble textured resin.
Color: Hard to describe, depending on the lighting, sometimes it's turquoise marble or green marble. Very subtle material to photograph.
Condition: Cosmetic-wise the hard case protected the pen and pencil very well. Both the pen and the pencil has a very clean and nice cosmetics. The trims are super shiny, must be seen to be believed. The case itself is very pristine, other than micro-scratches, there isn't any cracks or chipping.
Pen: Restored. Adjusted nib and see the writing sample, it is a very crisp semi-flex. One of the tine has a pitting that does not affect the nib's ability to write.
Pencil: No idea. I'm not an expert in vintage mechanical pencil and I'm not planning to become one. This one is completely at the mercy of the new owner.
Price: Reduced to $150 from $200 OBO
