<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 315402, member: 360&quot;]What you have there is a propelling pencil made by the famed company of SAMPSON MORDAN &amp; CO, which were a thing in London until 1941...when a German bomb destroyed their factory. </p><p><br /></p><p>They use a type of lead which you can&#039;t get anymore, unfortunately (or at least, not easily, unless you make it yourself). </p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn&#039;t have a pen-point ferrule on it, so you can&#039;t use it as a pen, only a pencil. And only if you can find the lead. Which is going to be bloody hard because nobody&#039;s made it in the better part of 100 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, being Sampson Mordan &amp; Co, it&#039;s highly likely that this thing is solid sterling silver. So...there&#039;s that, I guess...?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
