Old box of metal nibs "Gorilla" published by Blanzy Poure & Cie, preserved with its original contents. Its blue and gold label features the iconic design of the house with distinctions obtained at universal exhibitions. Inside, the box still contains approximately 25 blued steel nibs, with a very graphic and expressive silhouette. The name "Gorilla", typical of commercial names of the time, makes it a model particularly sought after by collectors of old nibs.
