This estate-found dealer lot features a diverse collection of vintage office stationery, writing tools, and decorative spiritual desk accessories. The collection highlights custom artisan craftsmanship alongside mid-century Japanese ceramics.
Stationery & Writing Highlights:
Charles Sheets Handcrafted Pen: A beautiful, custom artisan-turned twist ballpoint pen featuring a patriotic red, white, and blue swirled acrylic resin barrel divided by polished gold-plated hardware bands. Housed in its clear plastic display sleeve with a gold foil label reading “Handcrafted by Charles Sheets”.
Solid Copper Scripture Letter Opener: A vintage hammered-texture copper envelope slit knife hand-stamped with the Biblical verse “THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD” next to a detailed portrait of the Good Shepherd.
Magnifying Glass & Rulers: Includes a heavy black rubber-molded handheld magnifying glass paired with two specialty clear acrylic office bar rulers. One bar is printed with the verse “Blessed are the eyes that see – Luke 10:23”, while the other holds a fluid-filled capillary tube calibrated with a red leveling metric scale.
Religious & Decorative Office Accents:
Brass Perpetual Desk Calendar: A mid-century folding brass calendar stand featuring a manual thumb slide track to align the days of the week. Left panel is embossed with “HE CARETH FOR YOU”, balanced by a Good Shepherd portrait on the right panel.

Polished Alabaster / Marble Egg: A heavy, solid carved natural pink stone display egg sitting on a miniature hand-painted floral ceramic ring stand base.
Era: Vintage mid-to-late 20th century.
Condition: Excellent vintage estate condition. The custom resin pen barrel is immaculate without micro-fractures, the brass perpetual calendar sliders operate smoothly, the Brinn’s ceramic elephant is free of chips or crazing, and the stone egg retains a beautiful uniform polish.
