Old box of metal nibs marked "S.N.C.F. A.E", probably intended for administrative or technical use within the SNCF services in the mid-20th century. Its extremely sober and functional design, typical of post-war office supplies, contrasts with the more decorative boxes of the Belle Époque. The example presented is still sealed, which is becoming rare for this type of small professional supply, often used and then discarded.
