Old box of "Caduceus" metal nibs from the Blanzy Poure & Cie company, preserved with about thirty original nibs. This model is particularly interesting with its evocative name borrowed from the medical emblem of the caduceus. The black and white typographic label with universal medal decorations contrasts with the bright red interior of the box. The fine and responsive nibs bear the marking "Plume Blanzy Poure - Caducée". A beautiful set of old stationery, sober and elegant, typical of French production at the turn of the century.
