Description
A collection of assorted mid-to-late 20th-century writing instruments. The group includes a matching gold-tone ballpoint pen and mechanical pencil set housed in a navy blue presentation case. The exterior of the case is stamped in gold with With the Compliments of S.J. Moreland and Sons Ltd Match Centenary 1867 – 1967, and the interior lid is marked De Luxe in gold script. Also included is a piston-filler fountain pen featuring a blue and black vertically striped barrel with gold-tone trim, in the style of a Pelikan 400. A second fountain pen is present with a grey plastic barrel and a polished metal cap featuring an arrow-style clip, resembling a Parker 45 or 17 model. The collection further comprises various ballpoint pens including a white plastic promotional pen bearing the AirUK logo, a slim burgundy twist-action pen with a metallic finish, a slim brushed metal pen, and a slim navy blue pen with gold-tone accents. Two miniature propelling pencils are included: one gold-tone example with a ring-top suspension loop and engine-turned barrel, and a silver-tone hexagonal-bodied pencil. A two-tone grey plastic and chrome-finished mechanical pencil is also part of the group.
