A Russian silver writer’s set with inkwell, dip pen, pencil and letter opener in a wooden jeweler’s display case. The inkwell has a cut glass base and stylized silver Minaret shaped lid. The dip pen and pencil have ribbed shafts, and the letter opener is styled as a miniature sword. The silver inkwell, pen and pencil all have Russian silver marks. The letter opener does not. The wooden case is lined in velvet with a mold to fit the inkwell perfectly and three raised cushions to display the pen, pencil & opener. The pencil works smoothly to propel the lead by turning the nozzle.
