In 1882, the first ever propelling
pencil was invented and patented by Sampson Mordan. Through into the next
century the family-run business continued to develop the unique design of
carrying twelve three inch leads inside the barrel, and it is from this
feature that the name evolved - Yard-O-Led.
In 1934 the Yard -O-Led Company was
founded and continued the traditions of craftsmanship and excellence
established over 170 years ago.
Influenced by original design of 19th
and 20th centuries, the range of writing instruments has expanded to include
ballpens, fountain pens and rollerball pens alongside the traditional
propelling pencil, each handcrafted from hallmarked sterling silver or solid
gold, and carrying a lifetime guarantee.
