FAQs

Patented and popularized during the nineteenth century, sliding and propelling pencils offered a clean, portable alternative to ink pens and standard wooden pencils. Makers such as Sampson Mordan developed mechanical casings in precious metals, designed to protect the lead core when carried in a pocket or suspended from a chatelaine.

These instruments were predominantly crafted from sterling silver or gold, often featuring internal brass mechanisms and graphite cores. Decorative barrels frequently incorporated hand-engraving, engine turning, fluting, or gemstone caps.

Authentic pieces generally display full English hallmark stamps indicating the silver purity, city assay mark, and date letter, along with makers marks such as S. Mordan & Co. The precision of the sliding collar mechanism and the quality of the fluting or engraving also indicate genuine manufacture.

Small antique silver stationery items can be displayed flat on a leather desk blotter, styled inside a glass display dome, or arranged alongside inkwells on a brass tray in an office setting.

Clean the silver exterior gently using a soft microfibre cloth designed for silver care, avoiding harsh liquid polishes that can seep into internal sliding mechanisms. Store in a dry environment inside a lined box to prevent tarnish and protect moving parts from dust.
