Featured Antique dance card pencil and pen sets

Hello. My girlfriend and I came across these dance card pen and pencil sets and picked them up. I know from some research that these can date back a few years. Curious if anyone knows anything about these at all? The one piece breaks down into a hidden snuff container and hidden pencil which we think is definitely unique to say the least. Thanks for looking

 

You can put up to 10 photos on one entry.

 

Oh shoot I didn't realize that. Thanks for letting me know. Still feeling my way around this new groovy place. Or should I say stumbling lol

I'm super-confused. Where's the snuff-container?

 

Pictures 4, 5, and 6, I would imagine.

 

Thank you! That answers the gold finished ones for me

 

Pics 4, 5 and 6. All the pieces remove. Looks to me to be a snuff spoon and I'm guessing the container it slips in would hold the snuff. Keep in mind I'm guessing lol. Read an article about a very similar item and that's the way it was described. Hoping someone knows more. Approx year, material etc...

 

Yes

 

Sorry but that's not a snuff-container. It's a double-ended dip-pen and propelling pencil. I used to have one. The scoopy thing is the ferrule for holding the pen-nib.

Fourth entry down. Look familiar?

 

scoopy thing.......i like that...

 

Nothing to be sorry about purely a guess on the snuff thing. 4th entry down and entire page of your link has no exact markings like the one I have, but now I have some more key words to help continue my search. Thank you!

 

I never said it was identical. Merely that it's the same type of dip-pen-pencil combo. These were very common in the later 1800s.

 

Right on. Thx!
