July 7, 2020 by admin | Filed under fabulous.
MOST OF THESE OLD ITEMS COME FROM ATTICS, BARNS, BASEMENTS ETC… AND HAVE LIVED THROUGH MANY GENERATIONS OF FAMILIES! IF SMOKE, PETS, MUSTY ODORS ETC. LIVING IN SOUTH LOUISIANA MY ENTIRE LIFE, I HAVE SINUS ISSUES AND NO SENSE OF SMELL!! I love this set!!! Lovely repousse work on both pieces, they are both marked sterling. The nib is marked M SMITH & CO NEW YORK, and I believe it is gold. Both pieces have heavy patina, and I have resisted the urge to polish!! The pen measures 7 long, the hook is a little over 4 1/2 including the ring at the end. The case is in remarkably good condition, the velvet is still plush. Thee is some light writing, I think in pencil, on the inside of the lid. I really cant make out much of what is written. This is truly a fabulous set, box and all! This would be a super addition to any pen collection!!! We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as “gifts” – US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Our home is smoke and pet free, but a lot of our items come from estate sales, and we don’t know what the conditions were in the homes. We also use recycled packing materials to keep the costs down, so the same applies to these materials.
