The original Yard O Led Diplomat propelling pencil, a classic writing instrument.

This ever popular design remains unchanged since 1934. Thoughtfully designed, its angular hexagonal shape helps to stabilize the pencil on a gently sloping surface such as a draughtsmans's table.

A note about the decoration on the instrument:

Yard O Led has perfected traditional engraving methods, including engine-turning and hand-hammering, that have long been lost to many parts of the metalworking industry.

In the Birmingham workshop, a small number of dedicated craftsmen assemble and decorate every one of Yard O Led's exquisite writing instruments by hand. Some of these masters have been with the company for over fifty years, and each brings their own distinctive style, making no pen or pencil exactly like any other.

All instruments are manufactured from premium 925 Sterling silver, hand-chased with traditional Victorian designs. Each prestigious item is engraved with a unique number and stamped with a hallmark from the British Assay Office, guaranteeing the purity of the silver and authenticating each instrument as a genuine artifact of British heritage.
