<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 315428, member: 360&quot;]If you have hallmarks on the silver, you&#039;ll be able to date it precisely, but not all of SM&amp;Co&#039;s pens and pencils were hallmarked (I have one made by them, which wasn&#039;t. It just says &#039;STERLING&#039; on the side). </p><p><br /></p><p>The majority of their propelling pencils date to the 1800s and some were still made in the early 1900s, but the lead to make them work hasn&#039;t been made in decades. I wouldn&#039;t even know where you&#039;d even try to buy some. I have a friend who is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE collector of these things (she has literally HUNDREDS of them), and she&#039;s been struggling for YEARS to get hers hands on some lead, and it simply doesn&#039;t exist anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
