Prestigious and exclusive collection of 3 vintage fountain pens from the renowned Italian manufacturer Aurora, dating from the late 1950s and the 1960s.
The lot includes two iconic Aurora 88P pens designed by Marcello Nizzoli and an elegant Aurora International, all preserved in their original period hard cases with original period warranty documents and instructions. New and never used, never inked. Mechanisms in perfect working order.
