Condition Notes: All items are being sold strictly AS-IS in as-found, unrestored estate condition. The two fountain pens show standard surface wear and dried ink residue from decades of storage; their internal filling bladders are untested and will likely require replacement sacs for operational use. The steel Speedball nibs show varying degrees of cosmetic patina, dried ink crust, and minor oxidation/rust from age, but the brass clips remain intact
