xxxx Large compass set

This beautiful large set is rare find.

My best guess about the age is 1969-70.
Catalogs from that time are lost...so this might be a large official set that was in sale.
I doubt it is display case for stores since display sets usually had transparent top but there is demonstrator rapidograph inside I cannot rule out the possibility.

Some of the items are obviously not from the original case...someof the things are missing there.
There are stencils nibs and no stencil pen...so makes me believe it my be missing.
Also large ruler is missing...makes me think there was stencil guide there.
There is a hidden pocket/compartment with the stencil pens/nibs.

Also ink bottles seem from younger age...the original ones from that age looked different.
This type of bottle was used from 1975. but set seems older that that.


This set is owned by mr. Frans van Bree who got it from an Dutch Architectural firm approx: 77/78 (already outdated set at that time).
He kindly send us the photos to display.

If anyone finds more information about this or has similar one, please let us know.
