What About Hicks?

It turned out to be a somewhat grudging writer: hard to start and not especially fun to use. It probably needs tuning.

Acabei de comprar esta combinação de lápis / caneta. Achei que fosse um dispositivo Mabie Todd, mas alguém me disse que a marca da patente sugeria que era um corpo de Hicks reformado com uma ponta de Mabie Todd. Datas de 1860 a 1880.

Its a Mabe,  Todd & Co, New York. Legitime!! Its nota a adaptacion.

I assume this is the same brand?  It came as part of a collection of loose nibs.

Here's a really sweet Hicks pencil I found out in the wild. It's unusually large for the form and really very heavy. I placed it between two sterling Wahl vest pocket pens to give an indication of its size. It is marked Sterling Silver with the acorn mark.
