This is a pen and pencil set, though the two apparently come from different eras. The fountain pen has a fine nib and dates from the 1950s. You'll notice from the photos that the nib has an unusual diamond imprint rather than the usual "F", but I never could find out what that means. The nib is not flexible but writes a fairly smooth line. It does give some feedback. The pencil is inscribed with the company name Bosch. It was apparently given to employees of that company at some point. Lead is still in the pencil. The two pieces come in a faux (I hope) crocodile Etui box.
The fountain pen's seal was replaced by Rick Propas and the nib was ground by Gary Lehrer. So it is in good shape and ready to write. The window is nice and clear. There is some brassing on the clip and rings.
Asking $250 USD. Shipping in USA is included. International shipping depends on how the buyer wants the set shipped and is not included in the price.
