Pre-Order for Delivery 1st December 2024
YARD-O-LED has remade its archive model ‘The Deco 34’, originally sold in 1930. This limited edition reimagining of the model is an exact copy of the original and in honour of the gold pencil which saved Lt Leslie March’s life in 1942.
The lucky charm pencil was kept by his family as a precious heirloom and a reminder of his heroics. It was then donated to YARD-O-LED museum by his step brother, Mr Kelly, who aged 90 this year remembers Leslie as ‘my hero’.
The original pencil was a “Deco 34 “, a model that the YARD-O-LED had not made for many years, all the tooling had to be remade to be able to produce an almost identical copy of this original pencil. With its square body, distinctive pattern, and unusual ball clip, it is unlike any other writing instrument in the current collection. All YARD-O-LED writing instruments are hand made in our Birmingham workshop using the same machines that would have made Lt Leslie March’s original pencil.
The Lucky is available for Pre-order only and will be dispatched 1st December 2024. Leather pen holder included.
A percentage of proceeds will be donated to the Royal Marines Charity which provides support to Marines and their families - https://rma-trmc.org
