An old lithographed tin box of metal nibs, with a particularly vivid yellow and red design, bearing the inscription “Best Selected J Pens”. Its very typographic design, with diagonal composition and contrasting colors, is reminiscent of English or export productions from the early 20th century. The box is preserved here with 4 original metal nibs still present, each marked Super J Pen – Stainless Steel, which makes it of great interest to collectors of antique writing instruments as well as for desk decoration.
