AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very original set of five pretty pens, old, fountain pens and ballpoints,
* A very beautiful fountain pen from Mentmore house. Osmia nib (nib change, perhaps), 14 ct gold.
Ring, clip and ink button plated in gold, the button is engraved with the Mentmore logo.
A sac must be pressed by the inset button in the barrel to suck up the ink. Length 12.7 cm, width 1.1 cm. The nib is flexible. The Mentmore and England marks are engraved on the barrel along with a few references I cannot see.
* An adorable ballpoint pen, from the French House Waterman, probably from the 1950s. Presented in a pretty ivory box. It is free of scratches or shocks except for some tiny traces due to use. Length 8.8 cm and width 0.5 cm. Equipped with a cartridge, it works. A button at the top of the pen retracts or extends the ball.
* The charm of the old with this retractable fountain pen from the 1930s, I think. From Universal, it is bright gold-plated, without scratches or shocks. The bottom of the cap is engraved with the brand "Universal", and RIMF 750, plate references. Barely a few traces, it looks nearly new. Length 12.8 cm, width 1 cm. It writes.
* An old Bayard, from the 1960s in my opinion, and in a very classy black. The cap is clipped. The brand "Bayard de Fit" is engraved on the barrel and remains visible. It is in good condition, without shocks or scratches except for a few fine traces due to age. I added a new cartridge and it works. Length 1.36 cm, width 1 cm.
* Here is a beautiful pen from Zodiac House from the 1930s, I think.
Retractable nib, engraved "Raja iridium" operated by a fine button at the end of the barrel and engraved "Zodiac, Unis France". The cap screws on. It is really nice with old-world charm and it works. No shocks or scratches, only very tiny traces due to age, it seems almost new. Length 11.9 cm, width 1.1 cm.
* Please see the photos, and form your precise opinion of these items and bid with full confidence; there are no hidden defects. The shipment will be hermetic and solid via Colissimo, or La Poste, with a tracking number which I will provide as soon as it ships. I accept returns if necessary.
