Old box of metal "Caducée" nibs, published by Blanzy Poure & Cie in Boulogne-sur-Mer, preserved with about ten original nibs. The lid bears a beautiful red and gold label adorned with universal distinctions obtained by the manufacturer. The uncommon Caducée model directly evokes the ancient symbol of the winged staff entwined with snakes, associated with medicine and knowledge. The nibs have a slender shape with a fine point, suitable for precise and flexible writing. A lovely testament to the world of French school and administrative writing from the early 20th century.
