A DISCLOSURE... ALTHOUGH I KEEP SEVERAL STORE CATEGORIES THAT ARE SOLELY DEVOTED TO ALL TYPES OF PENS AND MECHANICAL PENCILS, I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO EVEN WORK A FOUNTAIN PEN. I JUST LOVE HOW THEY LOOK AND FEEL, AND I ALWAYS LIST THEM UNTESTED, AS-IS, AND FOR "PARTS/REPAIR" ONLY, SINCE I CAN'T TEST THEM. BY THE WAY, THESE STORE CATEGORIES ARE THE LAST SIX IN THESE LINKS JUST ABOVE.THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE SMALLER VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE GOLD FILLED PEN & PENCIL SETS THAT I'VE EVER HAD TO OFFER. THEY COME WITH THEIR ORIGINAL BOX, WHICH IS OFTEN HARD TO FIND WITH THESE TYPES OF SETS. I PICKED THIS PAIR UP AT A RECENT ESTATE SALE, WHICH IS ABOUT THE ONLY PLACE I CAN FIND THESE (IN AN AFFORDABLE RANGE) ANYMORE. THE LOT INCLUDES:THE PENCIL, WHICH IS MARKED AND SIGNED "MORRISON 1/40 14K" (MEANING THAT IT'S "ROLLED GOLD PLATED" (RGP) (RGP = GOLD FILLED)). IT MEASURES APPROX. 3.75" LONG AND THE MECHANISM WORKS PROPERLY, BUT IT APPEARS TO BE OUT OF LEAD. ALSO, THERE IS SOME SEPARATION NEAR THE CAP, WHICH I CANNOT EITHER CLOSE OR GROW. SO... I'VE LEFT THATT FOR MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE HANDS, SINCE I DON'T WANT TO DAMAGE IT. THE PEN IS ENGRAVED "EDNA" AND IS MARKED "1/40 14 KT". THE NIB IS MARKED AND SIGNED "MORRISON 14KT N.Y. THE PEN MEASURES APPROX. 3.75" AS WELL AS THE PENCIL. THE INK IS DRIED UP, SO IT WILL NEED A NEW REFILL. I HAVE NO WAY TO TEST IT, SO I CAN'T SAY FOR SURE IF IT WILL WORK WITH NEW INK, OR NOT.PHYSICALLY, THE PENCIL SHOWS VERY LITTLE WEAR TO THE GOLD FILL, AND IT SHOWS MINOR WEAR OVERALL. THE PEN SHOWS A BIT MORE WEAR TO THE GOLD FILL, ESPECIALLY ON THE LOWER SHAFT (WHERE IT IS HELD TO WRITE). ALL IN ALL, THE PENCIL IS IS SLIGHTLY BETTER CONDITION THAN THE PEN (ON THE GOLD), BUT BOTH ARE PHYSICALLY STILL IN VERY GOOD CONDITION OVERALL.THE CASE DOESN'T STAY CLOSED, WHICH IS TO SAY THAT THE HINGE DOESN'T HAVE A "STAY SHUT" TYPE BUILD, OR ELSE IT DOESN'T NOW WORK. IT DOES SHOW MORE WEAR THAN THE OTHER TWO, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. EVEN SO, IT'S STILL IN GOOD CONDITION, OVERALL. THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION. PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. ENJOY!SHIPPING WILL BE $6.25 INSURED USPS FIRST CLASS, AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING.I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS. IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!THANKS FOR LOOKING!
