Lot Description

A Sampson Mordan triple colour crayon slide action pencil, the cylindrical form with three cabochon set paste stone 'sliders' in blue, red and black, with suspension ring.  Impressed mark 'S.Mordan & Co', also marked 'Sterling Silver'.  Length excluding ring measures 3 1/2 inches (9 cm).

Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

The item displays general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing commensurate with the age and use.  Heavier patches and spots of tarnishing to some areas and it would benefit from a clean and polish.  Several deeper scratches and nicks in the metal are visible and there are also some dints and bumps.  The three sliders appear in working order but they are all quite stiff to move.  The black and blue leads are still clearly visible.  Impressed maker's mark is clear and legible.
