A Pair of Paper Mate Slimline Executive Brushed Gold Plated Writing Instruments in Case

This matched set of writing instruments is by Paper Mate, identified as the Slimline Executive series and dating from the 1960s to the 1970s. The set consists of one ballpoint pen and one repeating lead mechanical pencil. Both items are constructed from gold-plated (electroplated) metal with a vertically brushed finish. Each instrument is operated by a top push-button mechanism. The pen is designed for use with standard Paper Mate ballpoint refills. The clips feature a rectangular inset containing the Paper Mate double-heart logo, and the brand name is engraved around the centre band of each piece. The set is presented in a wooden-effect case with a green velvet-style base and a white fabric-lined lid bearing the Paper Mate brand and logo.
