Mabie Todd Swallow Set $65 shipped in the US
Black with gold trim. Both the pen and pencil work. The pen has a ball/footed type tip like you might find on a modern pen, but the nib is also flexible. It's certainly unusual. It's a medium that flexes to double broad and remains quite smooth in flex. It's really a good pen for someone who wants a smoother, wider flex than the usual fine/sharp point. Nib is "14kt" marked, so probably a late New York production pen. Both are celluloid. Trim has moderate brssing. Pencil has a small ding/indentation in it. Comes with a nice moire pattern box with blue interior. Some old ink stains on the interior, but really a cool set with box- not something you see all the time. $70 shipped in the US.
