  Two silver mechanical pencils to show today. Circa 1890- 1910  Both were likely made in England, possibly France. Each is unmarked (no maker information). As pictured, they are 5 1/2 inches in length. The top piece tip section screws in and out of the body. The lower piece tip is solidly affixed to the pencil.

  Today from me is a small silver figural vase disquising a mechanical pencil. The pencil section deploys by pulling it out of the body. The square end is a functional seal stamp. The second pencil is a much tinier twist-activated silver mechanical pencil. Both pieces are circa of the 1890s vicinity. The vase is unmarked. The stick is fully hallmarked and includes the E.W. makers mark.

  Today I'd like to show a small assortment of mechanical pencils from the 1920s to the 1950s. The far left piece is a Parker liquid lead pencil - not an actual mechanical pencil. All shown are Parkers with the exception of second from the left Esterbrook and top Conklin.
