An exceptionally rare and beautifully preserved vintage pocket sketching, drawing, or architectural drafting presentation set from the elite British luxury house Smythson of Bond Street.
This curated estate set is bound in an authentic, structured black grained leather double-tube slip casing featuring crisp, brilliant gold-leaf stamped branding. It is perfectly scaled to be carried effortlessly in a breast pocket, travel bag, or portfolio case.
The pouch securely houses a contrasting pair of high-grade, vintage mechanical clutch lead holders engineered with incredible internal precision "Made in Japan":
1. Faceted Burgundy/Brown Lead Holder: Designed with a continuous-twist advancement configuration.
2. Polished Silver-Tone Lead Holder: Features an instant drop-clutch button deployment system.
This specialized dual configuration was custom-designed for artists, architects, and industrial designers to let them house two distinct graphite weights (e.g., hard layout lead vs. soft shading lead) or line diameters concurrently without requiring constant lead adjustments in the field.
