This lovely Yard O Led propelling pencil was made in 1964 using sterling silver from Johnson, Mathey & Co, one of the world's foremost precious metals suppliers.
Yard O Led was founded in 1934 and continues to operate in Birmingham today- their sterling silver propelling pencils start from £295. This vintage pen is an opportunity to snap up one of their lovely pieces at a bargain price.
This particular pen boasts fine engine-turned details and its cartouche is inscribed with "Bristol". It measures 11cm long and would make a fine addition to any desk or study. Makers marks clear and legible as are silver assay marks for London 1964.
