OS069 Osmiroid 65 Lettering Set, boxed.

Date: 1950s

Size: Length - 135mm capped; 158mm posted.

A lovely marbled green celluloid calligraphy pen and a total of six calligraphy nibs in their original box and in excellent condition.  I can see that a couple of nibs have been used, but everything  is in lovely condition.  This appears to be a very early set with the rather crude paperboard box and the lovely marbled pen.  The fountain pen has a chrome plated Osmiroid pocket clip, a chrome-plated cap band and filling lever.  The cap has a domed top, and there is a small but complete and crisp imprint to the barrel.  The six22-carat gold-plated nib units are:  Italic Fine, Italic Medium, Italic Broad, B2, B3 and B4.  The original paperboard box has a cut-out liner to fit the pen with little cut-out loops for each nib to nestle in.  The nibs alone are probably worth more than the asking price of this set, and you can also use the nibs in Esterbrook, Venus and even some Burnham pens, as well as other Osmiroids.  

A very nice and early calligraphy set.
