This late-20th-century Japanese Platinum writing set comprises a red Yuzen-pattern fountain pen with an 18K gold fine nib and a black multifunction pen with gold-coloured trim.
Description from the seller
Platinum writing set comprising a red Yuzen-pattern fountain pen with an 18K gold nib and a black multifunction pen with gold-coloured trim.
The fountain pen has a textured red patterned covering and a nib visibly marked 18K and 細字 (fine). The 18K specification applies to the nib, not the body or trim. The grip bears the commemorative inscription 祝 結婚 51.10.3 (wedding congratulations, dated 51.10.3). This is an existing personal commemorative engraving; it does not establish the manufacturing date.
The multifunction pen is marked PLATINUM JAPAN (0.5) and has red and black ballpoint functions and a 0.5 mm mechanical-pencil function. The photographs show the internal refills and the eraser beneath the top.
Both instruments have been writing-tested and their functions checked by the seller. There are surface scratches, wear to the patterned covering and trim, ink residue around the fountain nib and signs of eraser use.
Representative fountain-pen dimensions are approximately 13.5 cm long and 1 cm in body diameter, estimated from the photographs rather than physically measured. The multifunction pen differs in size. The photographed cartridge/refills are included; no box or papers are included.
Estimated period: late 20th century; exact dates of manufacture are not verified.
Seller reference: 11-30/1140
