A further technical drawing set is housed in a black hardshell case and contains various nickel-plated or steel instruments including compasses and dividers. Calligraphy items include a Sheaffer fountain pen set in a blue metal tin featuring black resin barrels with interchangeable stainless steel nibs and ink cartridges. Two vintage sets of Reeves card stencils are present in their original green paper packets, marked Combination Packet No. 1 and No. 2, made in England. The lot is completed by a sealed pack of five Hobbycraft synthetic flat brushes, a pack of twelve charcoal pencils, and an assortment of loose drawing tools and pencils in plastic bags.
