1976 UK Yard-O-Led Sterling Silver Propelling Pencil with Instructions, Cased

This is a 1976 sterling silver mechanical pencil from Yard-O-Led, a traditional British writing instrument brand founded in 1934.

The barrel features regular engine-turning and delicate engraving, giving it the subdued shine unique to sterling silver. The first owner's name is hand-engraved on the pen barrel, adding to the unique story of a one-of-a-kind item that has aged gracefully.
It features the traditional mechanism that allows "a yard of lead" to be stored inside, which is also the origin of the brand name, and the lead extends very smoothly. This valuable item comes with its original case and instruction manual from that time.
