    I guess? *shrug*

    I mean...

    The pencils are sterling silver, but everybody knows that already.

    Sampson Mordan was the man in the 1820s, who invented the propelling pencil and popularised the use of propelling pencils and pencil-holders. As far as this stuff is concerned, he was the first, and for many years, the greatest.
