Sealed box of Perry & Co. / Josiah Mason quills - Late 19th century

An antique box of writing quills bearing the names of Perry & Co., in London, and Josiah Mason, in Birmingham. Its lid features a real quill fixed by a small cord in a gold-colored metal tray with a raised border, allowing the model to be displayed without opening the box. The design combines a blue background, white bands, gold initials, and a red and black border. Kept full and still sealed, this box stands out for its neat presentation and its external specimen, particularly attractive for a collection of writing instruments.
