A well-executed example of a Sampson Mordan 15ct gold telescopic propelling pencil with integrated dip pen, not hallmarked but XRF-tested, dating to around 1900.
The body is finished with a fine engine-turned pattern, giving a consistent, precise surface along its length. The form is clean and balanced, with a suspension loop allowing it to be worn or carried.
The piece extends smoothly to reveal the dip pen fitting, while the propelling pencil mechanism operates as intended. The construction is solid and typical of Mordan’s higher quality production.
Gold combination examples of this type are increasingly difficult to source in complete and working condition.
Condition
Good condition for its age, with light surface wear, fine scratches, and signs of handling consistent with use. Both the propelling pencil and dip pen functions are working. No structural issues noted. It may benefit from a light clean if desired. Sold as seen.
A complete and functional example of a gold Mordan combination pencil, suitable for collectors of antique writing instruments or small mechanical objects.
Please study the photos carefully for condition and detail.
