Civil War-Era Combination Pen and Pencil / SOLD

Civil War-Era Combination Pen and Pencil - Inventory Number: PER 451 / SOLD

A finely crafted Civil War-period combination writing instrument, featuring a dip pen on one end and a mechanical pencil on the other. The barrel is ornately engraved with a repeating star motif and decorative banding, giving it both utility and elegance. Instruments like this were often carried by officers, clerks, or correspondents during the war—essential for letter writing, map marking, or field documentation.

Both ends appear functional and well-preserved, making this a striking example of mid-19th century craftsmanship and practicality.

Comes housed in 6 x 8 riker display case with blue velvet and descriptive card.
