I dug this by what I think was foundation of a one room school house. Is it for putting holes in paper? Is it old or do they still make these.?
I think you are looking at the patent discussed about halfway up in this post if so this is the pic of the item in that patent. It does not look like it.daroofa said:FWIW....From the German Patent via Google translate.
The present invention relates presented a united pencil and pen and is on at the following drawing.
In the drawings FIG 1 is a longitudinal section of the new pencil and pen holder, 2 is a side view of the resilient metal strip one that is stuck between the slide of the steel pen and the pencil pusher; 3 is a front view with the pen, 4 a side view of the slider for the coil spring 5 is a side view of the spring holder
there is no online database in the US for Patent Pendings but in Germany it may be different.taz42o said:I dont know if 'patent pending' has numbers unless, later on it received a patent. I think it did because mine is not marked , WTRs is marked DRPA and lookers has the DRP no. 50863

I have one is real good condition. looks like you are missing a major part , mine is nearly 5" long, the end you have holds an ink pad on one side and a stamp on the other ( mine is still intact) the missing end is about 2.5 inches long and you can "push" out what looks like a fountain pen and on the opposite side you can push up/out what looks like to hold maybe pencil lead. I have pictures if you want them.
Yes please. This thing has been bugging me for years. Didnt someone guess inkpad stamp?I have one is real good condition. looks like you are missing a major part , mine is nearly 5" long, the end you have holds an ink pad on one side and a stamp on the other ( mine is still intact) the missing end is about 2.5 inches long and you can "push" out what looks like a fountain pen and on the opposite side you can push up/out what looks like to hold maybe pencil lead.

I read back and I see you suggested it taz but you didnt seem to believe it. We had it right all along as my description was dead on.I was The one who suggested ink stamp.
Good guess tazquote bigcypresshunter
"Cant one side hold the stamp and the other side the ink pad? Everytime it closes the pad would compress and re-ink the stamp. Ingenius little folding ink stamp. But then again maybe not lol. But I like your idea of a folding stamp"
