A three-piece Victorian pencil haul from the recent Washington pen show. Top to bottom is an owl topped carpenters pencil, slider activated Mordan figural pipe, and twist activated figural acorn. All circa 1880 - 1895. For measurement perspective, the owl is 4 1/4 inches long in the extended position.
Sterling Figural Owl writing accoutrement ranks as one of my all time favorite motifs. How about showing us a picture of all of your Owls?!?! That would be a HOOT!
