The No-Nonsense pens were designed to be similar to the early 1920s flat-topped Sheaffer Senior pens. This lovely calligraphy set comes with no less than three pens and three nib units in fine italic, medium italic, and broad italic points and they are all still in the original packaging and everything appears to be unused still. The pens and nibs are housed in a form-fitting plastic tray along with a full set of the original coloured Sheaffer ink cartridges. I would not recommend using these as some of the ink has evaporated out of them, but modern Sheaffer refills and modern Sheaffer ink converters will still fit these pens. In the other half of the box is the original instruction booklet and practice paper pad, which again, has never been used. The outer paperboard box is also in lovely condition.
I have fully serviced this set. It is looking - and working - just great.
