My grandfather gave me this pen and pencil set in it's original box as a teenager in the 1970's. He told me it was his when he was younger but didn't specify what age. I have always loved old things and possibly it started with this very pen and pencil set. It goes well with a ink well that was given to me by one of my neighbor's who knew I loved old things. So both pieces are Sterling marked and possibly the fountain pen top and just before the nib may possibly be Bakelite. I need to have it tested to certify it Bakelite. The pencil contains a lead and retracts up and down very easily. The original box is in good condition with a few dents. The hinges work very well and close tight. The material inside is in good condition without any rips or wear. There are no dates or markings found on the outside of the box or inside but you can this is the box it was intended for by the shape inside on the velour to house the 2 pieces.
