Just a photo of a recent acquisition to share a bit of knowledge.

Just acquired this DIXIE set in the box, with price bands that provide some new
info. The FP is full length slim model identified as a "D21" with a Fine nib
priced at $1.50. It has the expected DIXIE, NON-BREAKABLE, LIBERTYVILLE, IL
imprint.
The pencil is identified on the band as a "D10" priced at $1. The imprint is on
the cap and reads around the circumferance in 3 lines "DIXIE, MICHAEL-GEORGE
CO., LIBERTYVILLE, IL"
The cardboard box is generic except for the DIXIE label inside. Nothing on the
outside at all.
Michael-George Co. was operated by George M. Kraker at Libertyville, IL from
late 1928 to about 1932 or early 1933.
