A varied collection of stationery, drafting equipment, and writing instruments. The lot features an Everflow Calligraphy Kit in its original blue retail packaging, containing a black fountain pen with five interchangeable nib units and ink cartridges. Two Parker fountain pens are present: one with a blue barrel and brushed stainless steel cap in a grey Parker plastic tray, and another blue-bodied pen with gold-toned trim in a black flip-top presentation box with a red lining. The collection includes a vintage Helix Oxford Set of Mathematical Instruments in a metal tin, which traditionally contains a compass, divider, and protractor. Additional items comprise a sealed pack of five black ink retractable gel pens, a pack of ink cartridges, and a small vintage box bearing the label SCHOOL PEN W. H. Hayden & Co. Ltd. LONDON. Desk accessories include a gold-toned metal letter opener with a black handle in a green-lined box, two metal straightedge rulers (one with flag motifs and a Swiss cross), a pair of red-handled utility scissors, a blue metal pencil case, and a miniature piano-shaped novelty item. Visible marks include the Parker name and halo logo, Helix Oxford branding, and Everflow retail labels.
