AC204: Sheaffer No-Nonsense Mini Calligraphy Gift Set, boxed.

Date: c1980

Size: Capped - 5 1/4 inches; posted - 6 1/8 inches.

This is a new-old stock Sheaffer calligraphy set.  There is no damage to this set and it has never been used.  It is complete with all original unused cartridges, box and instruction booklet.  The set consists of a No-Nonsense pen in Vista Green - transparent - plastic, three italic nibs (fine, medium and broad), four Skrip cartridges in various colours, and instruction sheet.  The No-Nonsense pen has a chromed ball-ended Sheaffer pocket clip and a chromed cap band.  The hard plastic sections on the nib units identify this set as an older set - probably from the late 1980s.  Modern sets have soft rubber sections.

Although the pen looks a turquoise blue in the photograph below, it is really green.  Not sure what has happened to the usually excellent colour balance on my camera in this shot.
