ME259 Platignum Silverline Lettering Set, boxed.
Date: c1960s
Size: Length - 137mm capped; 145mm posted.
A very nice calligraphy set in used but still very good condition. The set consists of a green Platignum Silverline lever filled pen with six calligraphy nibs as you can see, all italic points in varying thicknesses from fine to B4. Most of the nibs appear to be used but they all still lfunction. They are screw-in units and fit several different Platignum pen models from the 1950s and 1960s. The box is essentially undamaged, and is complete with its clear plastic lid. You don't often see these old Platignum sets, especially in this good a condition. They seem to be much more uncommon than the Osmiroid sets.
The pen itself is in excellent condition with no damage noted at all. The cap has a chrome plated top button with a chrome plated pocket clip and single chrome plated cap band. The fillinglever is also chrome plated.
I have fully serviced this set.
