Pretty old small tin box for metal nibs, lithographed, with a very graphic red and black design featuring a stylized nib, bearing the inscription "12 Fine Ballon Nibs - Superior Quality". The elongated format and very modern composition evoke stationery products from the first quarter of the 20th century. The box is complete with its 10 original metal nibs, still arranged inside, which gives it great collectible interest, both decorative and documentary.
