THIS IS AN OLD OVAL SHAPED SHEAFFER'S PEN SET BOX. BOX IS ELLIPTICAL IN SHAPE, COVERED IN A BLUE-GRAY LEATHERETTE, HAS GOLD-TONED EDGES AND THE INSIDE HAS A SATIN LINER WITH THE SHEAFFER'S NAME AND A PLUSH "SEAT" FOR 2 PENS OR A PEN/PENCIL SET, I AM NOT SURE. BY THE LOOKS OF IT, I SUSPECT IT IS FROM THE 1950s, BUT YOU MAKE THE CALL. BOX IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND EVEN HAS THE OLD LITTLE ELASTIC BAND TO KEEP PENS IN PLACE. A WONDERFUL WAY TO DISPLAY YOUR TREASURED PENS!!
