Description

This vintage calligraphy set features a collection of steel nibs and two wooden dip pen holders. The nibs are presented on an original cardboard display card titled Round Hand for beautiful writing, indicating Twelve degrees of nib sizes. The card bears the printed mark of the manufacturer William Mitchell of Birmingham and is marked PRINTED IN ENGLAND. The lot includes two turned wooden handles and an assortment of steel Round Hand calligraphy nibs, one of which is clearly incised with the size 3. The set is currently housed within a contemporary plastic zip-top bag and a red cardboard box base. Birmingham was historically the global centre for steel pen production, and this set is a representative example of the regional industry.
