This a chatelaine pencil Sergio founde last week in Belgrano St. It was about 20 U$, so it was not cheap at all. It is Brimngham (the anchor) and from 1903, the hand engraved floral motif is very unusual in British silver. The wood of the pencil has the letters D. L. R. perhaps the brand of the pencil. The silversmith has marked the piece with 4 cartouche, the second seems and O the other are a mistery to me. Thanks for looking and for any commentary you can do.
stunning!!!!!!!
The letters D.L.R. may equally have been the initials of the original owner. In England it was once possible to buy even ordinary pencils and then have your own initials put on them. It may still be possible!
Wow Silvia, I've never sen anything like this! Very cool!!
