MARKS – HALLMARKS – HISTORY Sampson Mordan (1770-1843), apprentice and assistant of the mechanic John Bramah, established his own business in 1815. The first patent for a “metal pencil with an internal mechanism for propelling the graphite ‘lead’ shaft forward during use” was obtained in 1822 (his co-inventor was John Isaac Hawkins). In 1823 Mordan bought out the rights of Hawkins, entering his first mark as “smallworker” in London Assay Office on 9 June 1823 (SM oblong). In 1824 he entered in partnership with Gabriel Riddle, registering a new mark (SM.GR) in London Assay Office. The partnership with Riddle was dissolved in 1836 and he continued the business as S. Mordan & Co. Sampson Mordan died in 1843 and the business was taken over by his sons Sampson (Jr) and Augustus. They were later joined by Edmund George Johnson and Zachariah Watkins who retired in 1879. After the death of Sampson Mordan (Jr) his share of the business passed to his brother Augustus, joined as partner in 1890 by Harry Lambert Symonds. In 1898 the company was converted to a limited liability company under the name of S. Mordan & Co Ltd. In 1933 the distribution rights on the propelling pencil business were given to L. G. Sloan Ltd, and in 1941, following the destruction of the factory by enemy bombing, the patents were sold to Edward Baker. The firm went into voluntary liquidation in 1952. Between the 1820s and 1870s the firm obtained more of 160 patents for various mechanical pencils. The first spring-loaded mechanical pencil was patented in 1877 and a twist-feed mechanism was developed in 1895. In addition to pencils the firm had a large production line of small silver and gold items, most of them belonging to the type of “novelties” so popular at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th century. They were supplied to many retailers, including Asprey & Sons and the Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co. Ltd. Sampson Mordan & Co was present at the 1851 London Great Exhibition and at the 1922 and 1929 British Industries. Almost certainly Sampson mordan has vs stamped on metal which Sampson mordan did for the recomend pencil grade Pencil Lead Though Sampson Mordan and S. Mordan & Co are primarily associated with pencils and the invention of the everpointed/propelling/mechanical pencil, they infact made many other items. Rather appropriately they also manufactured leads for their pencils, these leads were made in various thicknesses and hardness depending on their intended use. Each Mordan pencil would take one particular size of lead, so the intended use of the pencil determined which pencil was purchased. The lead which the pencil took was normally engraved on the barrel at the end of the pencil, these were letters as follows VH, H, M, S, or VS. These letters, which many people believe to be the size of lead the pencil takes, in reality describe the hardness of the lead rather than the thickness. Pencil lead sizes In one of S. Mordan & Co’s advertisements circa 1828-1829 the following thicknesses and degrees of hardness of leads were described by the company. VH (very hard) is very small in size…..Seldom required H (hard) is small Hard and black, for fine drawing M (medium) is of a medium size……For general purposes S (soft) is larger Black for shading VS (very soft) is largest Very black for deep shadingIf you are not happy with this article based on the information I have provided I will always happily refund minus the cost of any postage.
