Condition Report
Both pencils display general surface scratches, marks and wear and some tarnishing. The Everpoint pencil appears in fairly good overall condition and the propelling action is in working order. There is some light rubbing to hallmarks but they are still clear and legible, also pocket clip is struck with the lion passant. The decoration on the other pencil is now very worn to some areas so that much of the detail is lost. Part of the maker's mark is now indistinct. The slide action appears in working order and the propelling section is incised with the letter 'H'.
