  The Claret Jug trophy is given every year to the winner of the British Open golf tournament I'm showing today a silver figural mechanical pencil representing that jug. The pencil is unmarked, likely made in England, and possibly produced by Sampson Mordan. Circa 1880. The mechanism deploys by pulling the top - simultaneously pushing the tip out to write.   The piece is 1 5/8 inches closed and 2 3/4 inches extended. Fore!
