Old Damaged Silver :(


  •  Sampson Mordan continued manufacturing pencils and a wide range of silver objects until the Second World war when their factory was bombed.
  • Invented the propelling pencil.
This appears to be a Silver pencil holder from somewhere between 1852- 1910...hallmarks are too worn




Intact it would have looked something like this possibly
