Fairchild Dip Pen - Mother of Pearl tapered dip pen marked Fairchild Mane No. E on the very beautifully engraved gold filled ferrule. Fairchild is known for their high quality work, this pen is not as elaborate as some I've seen, but the detail to the engraving is evident. Unfortunately the original Fairchild nib is no longer, and this dip pen has a solid gold A Norton & Son New York No. 3 dip pen nib - nothing shabby, Norton made excellent dip pen nibs. It's a "wet noodle" nib! Barely touching it to paper expands the tines, super flexible point. Measures 6 inches long, very good condition.

Victorian Telescoping Pencil - Pointer VIC106
Victorian Telescoping Pencil - Pointer. This is one of my favorite Victorian era pieces, creativity at it's very best! Probably nickel plated finish, it's bright shining silver colored. Cable twist case, large ring at the end. Pencil at the other end uses 2.0mm dia leads. It's big when closed, but even bigger extended! Closed: 7 inches and about a half inch diameter. Fully extended it pulls out and out and out some more to a full 24 inches, yes two full feet long! It's in very nice condition and definitely qualifies as an unusual dual duty writing instrument.
