Sampson Mordan & Co. Silver Retractable Pencil
Sampson Mordan were the co-inventors of the propelling pencil. This is an early example of the tactile retracting pencil and is in full working order.
As with many of the early pencils, this piece does not bear a hallmark. The pencil is clearly marked S. Mordan & Co.
The twisted design present on this piece was also carried out through some of the scent bottle range.
There are several dents and marks commensurate with age.
These pencils are very collectable. The very rare ones depict animals and Egyptian mummies.
