Horace Smith held no patents for any of his pens and is often regarded as to having Fairchild or Bagley as an outside affiliate or maker.

One of the hottest antique markets today is the insurgence of collectors chasing metal writing instruments. They are beautiful, sturdy , intrinsic and often well over 100 years old. Prices have been all over the map for a while. Savvy collectors are finally noticing that these were the instruments of the well - to - do - crowd. Many pieces were very expensive in those days and quantities of nice examples can be quite few. They can be flashy pieces of art with tonnes of collector appeal. Some instruments border on the lines of being custom pieces or short production, which can easily increase values. Sampson & Mordans were a luxury mainstay in the UK for over 140 years and quality was always first class. the collector base is ever growing. This collapsible pencil is a very tough find and was a luxury item , even for a pencil. Rare. Price: $159.00 USD

Also included is 16 ink cartridges. The tip is a medium fine 4810 18 karat white gold with platinum inlay. Replacement value of the tip alone is $250 ++ . This pen appears un-inked and unused but with no certain guarantee. The cap and barrel are 0.925 sterling silver. The barrel is nicely monogrammed for " Michael A Byrne " & " 15 years H Y A B ". Despite the monogramming it is a very excessively rare pen and is seldom found for sale anywhere on the internet. See my other pens for a 1443 solitaire in gold vermeil. The box will hold either 1 or 2 pens. Or it might have had a pencil included, but this is uncertain as well. The box alone is worth $100. A nice package offering. Price: $925.00 CDN
