Here's a vintage YARD-O-LED STERLING SILVER mechanical pencil estimated to be about '30's or '40's vintage.. possibly earlier. The pen has a hexagonal barrel with an engine turned design of longitudinal wavy lines seemingly set in two panels on each facet. One of the facets has an open section for monograms, but unused. The pencil is 4-7/8" long and is in excellent condition. When received, it had heavy tarnish and a couple... of stubborn spots remain, but I've removed most of it. The clip panel has a couple of extremely minor dents that I just noticed, but overall it is very clean and operates perfectly using .046" lead. Marking are YARD-O-LED on the clip, MADE IN ENGLAND and PATENT number on an opposing facets at the top. Another upper facet has the single LION sterling hallmark. Additionally there is a fuller set of hallmarks along the side of the clip with JM&Co. and others. Great early pencil. Prior to bidding, please read the information on payment, return policy and on international shipping. Thanks.
