A couple new pen boxes....
I happened on a picture of an old 1910's Sheaffer box, previously had only seen poor photos of this one, the actual type of pen would have been a black hardened rubber pen, cylindrical was the only shape for those, prior to plastic and more durable for pen use than bakelite, nearly all pens of the age were of this type. Pictured is an Aikin Lambert from about 1918-1920. I don't have a Sheaffer that old, the oldest working pen I have is a Sheaffer Balance from 1929-1930 that is in the box.
The Parker box was used in the 50's in England, the Newhaven Parker plant that put out 51's, "English duofolds" and later the 61. the Silver pen is a 61 from USA manufacture about mid 60's. It is a capillary filler.
