51262-Antique British Retractable Dip Pen & Pencil

51262-Antique British Retractable Dip Pen & Pencil This elegant 19th-century British retractable pen combines refined craftsmanship with Victorian mechanical aesthetic. The main body handle is crafted from polished silver-plated metal, featuring a beautiful classic luster. The section is fitted with a detailed metal ferrule with classic engraved patterns, creating a subtle yet exquisite focal point with its understated metallic luster. The most remarkable aspect of this piece is its exceptionally rare, dual-retractable silhouette. In contrast to more common, thicker pens, the metal body measures just 11 cm in closed length and extends up to 15 cm when fully opened on both sides, serving as both a dip pen and a 2.8mm mechanical pencil. This delicate, tapered form was designed specifically as a sophisticated writing tool for aristocratic ladies' diaries during the Victorian era. Creating such precise, flawless miniature proportions demanded ultimate mastery from 19th-century artisans. Custom-made by private workshops, each piece features an owner's name engraving and retractable structure, offering a distinctive collector's identity that brings a sense of historical ritual to your desk. https://youtube.com/shorts/Nlr3FZWoUiU?si=SrX5I60vjFFQ2xEK *Content：1 Piece。 *Size：Closed L 11 cm, Fully Extended L 15 cm, D 0.95 cm, Lead D 0.28 cm。 *Weight：16.5g。 *Material：Silver-plated Metal, Metal Nib。 *Origin：UK。 *Year：Late 19th Century。 *Hallmarks ：Previous owner's name engraved。 *Reference code : W60603-2313。 ⚠️ Condition：Antique with authentic patina.
