Stuart writes: "The set has a two-tone bronze base made by Silver Crest of Buffalo, a well-known maker of decorative bronze pieces. It’s fitted with a top-of-the-line Lifetime Sheaffer desk pen."

(above: Sheaffer sticker affixed to the the bottom of the desk pen base)

"Sheaffer called the two-tone bronze Duo Bronze, and offered several sets with this beautiful finish." (see pg. 15 of this 1941 Sheaffer catalog)

"The set includes the matching inkwell...

....which makes for a stunning and impressive ensemble."

What a great set! Thank you, Stuart, for sending in photos of it for our pen club's blog :)
