Antique 18K Gold Tiffany & Co Dipping Pen, Retractable Pencil, Engraved - $2,800 - (North Wales, PA)
Antique Tiffany 18k Gold dip pen/mechanical pencilThis is a gorgeous mechanical pencil / dip pen combo in 18K gold by Tiffany & Co., New York. The pencil is in full working order as can be seen in the pictures. The dip pen nib is inscribed “Tiffany & Co. New York, #4” and appears to be in Excellent condition. When the cap on the other end is unscrewed the threads appear to be brass, so I assume that some of the inner workings would also be brass..? The outer shaft is inscribed “Tiffany & Co. 18”, indicating 18k gold, which is consistent with my acid test. Also on the outer shaft there is a personal inscription that reads 'WM Nelson In Memory of Mrs. JL Berry'. Based on the type of pen and also my knowledge of the person in my family to whom the pen was given as a gift, it is likely from the late 1800’s. The pen is intricately engraved throughout. There is some light scuffing more from storage than from actual use but in general the pen is in fantastic condition. I believe it has been carefully stored by various family members for 100 years or more. Overall weight is 36 grams. Closed length is 4” and full extended length in dip-pen mode is about 6.25”. Please see photos for more multiple views and further dimensions. It comes with the Blue Felt Cover you see in the photos which has minimal wear to it. Please view and zoom in on all pictures as they are part of my description. From Smoke Free Home. Free Priority Insured Shipping.... Please let me know if you have any questions. I want you to be happy with your purchase and accept returns for any reason. Thanks for Looking!
