Item 46-52 of about 200. Focus on small name pens. Hicks is well known for making metal pens and combos in various metals. High quality items, they feature plump nibs. They made pens for Tiffany's.
Pen 53- of about 200: Moore. The various "A" pens (modifying earlier numbers such as 96, with addition of an "A") probably date to early 1940's. Decent pens in lovely plastics, they fall a bit below collectable pendom's radar.

The two - toned Moore set is probably called an "Esquire Set" I have a similar two-toned set in gray and stripe with some original literature.
Thanks for sharing that, Terry. First time I've seen that info. By chance is the paper dated?
