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 "Eileen". It measures 12.5 cm 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. One light dent as pictured to cap. Otherwise excellent vintage condition.
