Pretty antique box of metal nibs from the house of William Mitchell, an emblematic Birmingham manufacturer specializing in writing and drawing nibs. This "Rex Pens" model features a very elegant red, white, and blue typographic design, typical of early 20th-century English productions. An interesting feature: the box is still originally sealed, with its intact side paper strips, and contains its 36 new nibs. A beautiful object that has remained preserved, both decorative and evocative of the world of writing and antique stationery.
