I would like to introduce an antique retractable rotating pencil.
A magic pencil is a retractable mechanical pencil, and its history dates back to the 18th century.

From the stamp of "S.MORDAN & Co", this seems to be a work of Sampson Modan in the UK.
"Sampson Modern" is the predecessor of British writing instrument maker "Yard O Red".
It is a mechanism that allows you to insert and remove the pen tip by sliding it, and rotate the tip to expose the core.
It's pretty small, but it expands and contracts in two stages, so it's surprisingly big.


We hope this lovely pen will add some color to your day!

【situation】
・The mechanism that rotates the pen tip and feeds out the core works well.
・Although there is wear on the whole, it is well maintained as an antique and is in a beautiful state.
・There is a carved seal of "S.MORDAN and Co" on the penholder.
No hallmarks, but tested to be sterling silver.
・The expansion and contraction of the pen may be a little stiff.
・Initials are not engraved.

* Since it is very old, there are fine scratches and dirt due to aging.
Please check the photos and make sure you understand them before purchasing.
