Description from the seller

Elegant vintage pocket or desk set consisting of two finely crafted objects, ideal for collectors and lovers of antique accessories.
1. Aurora Marco Polo Ballpoint Pen in Solid Silver 925
• Manufacturer: Aurora (Turin, Italy).
• Model: Marco Polo.
• Material: Solid Sterling Silver 925. Bears the Italian hallmarks (oval "925" and factory mark with a star) clearly visible on both the barrel and the cap.
• Finish: Glossy with guilloché work (vertical ridges) and iconic double central rings in black lacquer.
• Vintage personalization: On the cap is the subtle vintage engraving "MONTEDIPE" (historic Montedison group company from the 1980s), a detail of great charm for enthusiasts of economic and industrial history.
• Condition: Excellent cosmetic condition, barrel intact without dents, hallmarks clear. Snap mechanism perfectly functioning. New refill compatible with the original present.
2. Vintage Aristocrat Cigarette / Card Holder
• Manufacture: Aristocrat - Made in England (mark stamped inside).
• Material: EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver / Alpacca with high-quality English galvanic silvering).
• Finish: Refined outer geometric guilloché work on both faces. On the front there is a smooth shield with monogram in cursive "R.S." engraved. Inner surface mirror-polished, equipped with the original cigarette holder spring, solid and perfectly taut.
• Condition: Very good, the snap closure is firm, aligned and precise. Beautiful superficial vintage patina. Also perfectly suitable today as an exclusive business card holder.
The lot is sold exactly as photographed. Close-up images are an integral part of the description and show the authenticity of the marks. Tracked shipping and careful protective packaging.
