Description

This oak display of Speedball pen tips would have likely sat on a countertop at a point of purchase store. It promoted the various tips available for lettering & calligraphy brushes made by the Speedball Company, such as A5-A0, B6-B0, C6-C and D6-D0. The various tips are organized underneath a see through, hinged glass door in rows of 7 down and 4 across. An informal presentation is arranged at the top showing 4 speedball ink jars and a handwritten, wooden sign that is slatted into the display and removable, that reads, "Speed Ball Ink 35¢ Points 1"
