Immaculate English Hallmarked SOLID 9ct. Gold Yard -O-Led Propelling Pencil - VERY RARE
Hallmarked in London in 1946, this extremely rare propelling pencil has spent around 50 long years enjoying the protection of the family safe.
Originally purchased around 1946, by a much loved grandparent, this beautiful example of English craftsmanship at one time had his name engraved on the area of the pencil barrel reserved for such things, but has either worn off or been removed leaving a 1 inch smooth section on one angle of the engine turned barley finish to be engraved with another deserving name or initials.
This is an original Diplomat design by Yard - O - Led.
The original Yard-O-Led Diplomat is a classic writing instrument. This ever popular design remains unchanged since 1934. Thoughtfully designed, its angular hexagonal shape helps to stabilise it on a gently sloping surface such as a draughtsman's table.
An absolute MUST for all those Sudoku enthusiasts.
These pencils are no longer made in solid 9ct. gold by Yard - O - Led, making those that already exist VERY RARE INDEED since they cannot be replaced at any cost.
This immaculate propelling pencil will come to you in a black Yard - O - Led official wooden presentation box with lifetime guarantee.
There are no dents or scratches in either the pencil, which is unbelievable since it is 60 years old, or the box.
