Ever since joining this forum, I seem to have been blessed with luck concerning pens/pencils. First, there was my mother's Sheaffer fountain pen from the 1950s, then came my father's Parker fountain pen from possibly even earlier. Then I found a Parker mechanical pencil made, I think, from malachite, which also belonged to my dad. Today I found an old, silver mechanical pencil with engraved writing, another from my father. It is really beautiful, or will be when cleaned up properly.
Can anyone date this beautiful pencil, please?
It will probably be from before the 1950s, possibly much earlier.
I am hoping that when I can read the engraved writing, it might give me a clue, but it is very small and rather tarnished over at present.
All input much appreciated.
