An old box of "Comète" metal nibs from Blanzy Poure & Cie, preserved with its original contents of about thirty nibs. The lid's decoration, richly adorned with world exhibition medals and printed in red and gold tones, is particularly elegant. The "Comète" nibs, with their very characteristic elongated and tapered shape, were designed for flexible and nervous writing. A beautiful set of antique stationery, as decorative as it is sought after by writing collectors.
