An old box of "Tremplin" metal nibs published by Blanzy Poure & Cie, still filled with its original content. This model features a particularly slender nib, with a cross-shaped openwork cut on the tip and deep blued steel typical of the manufacturer. The box retains its beautiful red and gold label printed with the awards obtained by Blanzy Poure at major international exhibitions. A very decorative set, as much appreciated for collection as for use in calligraphy.
✦ Provenance: France - Blanzy Poure & Cie, Boulogne-sur-Mer ✦ Estimated period: Circa 1910-1920 ✦ Dimensions: 5.5 x 4 x 1 cm ✦ Material: Printed cardboard and blued steel ✦ Condition: Good general condition with wear and tear on the box, clean interior, well-preserved label ✦ Content: Approximately 50 original "Tremplin" metal nibs
A beautiful testament to the golden age of penmanship, as appealing in a collection of antique stationery as it is as a cabinet or Belle Époque desk object.
