A rare antique Victorian Fully hallmarked propelling 1 draw pencil and dip pen. .Smooth design main body. The pencil has a twist action tip which extends & retracts the pencil lead mechanism. All pencil mechanisms are in excellent working order. The pencil comes complete with fitted period leads in a metal tin. I will also include the seven period fitted new old stock nibs of spares to keep you going. The pencil is marked on the side of the body with the makers mark, A.D for Arthur Dowling and full hallmarks for Birmingham, date letter C for 1902. Stunning rare collectors item, they take 1.5 mm lead.

It is museum worthy you will not find a better example unless you borrow my time machine.
