Help Requested!: Tiffany & Co Silver/ivory Propelling Pencil

Recommended Posts

Seeing as you fine people of FPN taught me pretty much everything I know about pens, handwriting, stationery, etc. - I'm hoping someone can help with a PENCIL question.

 

In Feb 2012, I purchased some writing implements from the estate of Rowena Wright Willis - who it turned out, was John McCain's Aunt. The sale had an enormous quantity of obscenely fine items - from jewelry to furniture - so I managed to walk away with my small items for a pittance ($40ish). One of these items is the pencil in question, a Tiffany & Co. propelling pencil in silver and ivory. There are nearly no scratches to be found on the silver, and it is quite easy to see the wavy lines usually found in ivory. It takes a lead slightly larger than 1.1mm.

 

I've exhausted every last ounce of my Google magic, of which there is generally a hearty supply, and come up with very little. I looked through the T&Co Blue Books (1894,1907) available online but did not find a matching description. Can anyone help?

 

Dimensions:

Total Length: 6 5/8"

Silver Length: 2"

Width at widest point: 1/4"

Perhaps try to get in touch with Tiffany and co. If my understanding is correct, they keep meticulous records.
