New To This - Have What I Think Is Knirps Pen Pencil Set 14K Bock Nib

[Vannachana]

I just found this site trying to do a little research about a pen pencil set in a zippered leather case with a paper that says Knirps - written in German. It is only about 4 1/2 inches long - I believe I saw something like it described as a midget. The nib is marked 14K and has a mountain goat picture which I saw someone identify as a Bock nib. Most of what I have found about the company is that they make umbrellas - ha I know it is very old but I don't know how old. There is still several pieces of led in the pencil.

 

Just wondering if anyone knows anything additional about it or the company - how many were made...anything.

 

Thanks!

Hello and welcome to FPN

 

 

A Knirps pen set? Had not heard about them, but why not? Monblanc does cufflinks...

 

Enjoy your pens, and our forum

Ha - thanks! It's very interesting - I have learned way more than I knew yesterday about vintage pens.

Welcome !

 

I had to go check. Yes, I have one of their "self-open/self-close" umbrellas in the car.

Fountain pens ? Sorry, never heard of it.

 

Thank you. I will be following this post for an education.
