Midland Railway Slide-Out Dip Pen with company title, in full, engraved into the body. Measuring just 4" in length, it has a central, ornate band which slides in one direction to exit the nib and elongate the whole thing to just about 51/4" nib tip to end. The end has been chewed a little which really adds to the character, one can only imagine who owned this and indeed what was actually written with it. A truly wonderful little item the likes of which I have not seen before.
