My thanks to Andy Russell for these photographs and the information on this combination fountain pen and pencil.
PAT. NO. 508607 MADE IN ENG BY
WEDEKIND’S.50 BAKER ST.WEYBRIDGE.SURREY.ENG
Despite what the above imprint says it was made by Altura for Wedekind, who made souvenir and advertising items. It is precisely machined in the beautiful mottled hard rubber. The pencil, unusually, is made to hold a thick graphite lead or crayon, such as might be used by an artist. The lead is retained by a superbly-made collet fixing turned in the same mottled vulcanite. The end of the cap holds a sharpener.
This combo was introduced almost on the outbreak of World War II. Wartime limitation of production of fountain pens meant that it was only made for a few months and for that reason is likely to be rare.
The clip, held on by a thick metal washer, has been broken off. It would be good to know what the original clip looked like. Has anyone a photo?

Happy New Year Deb,I hope that you are well and thriving. There is a bit of a glitch in your emailed blog posts that everytime you have a period your program inserts a hyperlink with the first word of the next sentence. The hyperlinks lead to a 404 page. So that’s your new years surprise for 2024. All the best. Philip
Good to hear from you, Philip. I can’t really investigate your problem as I have no skill in that area but I have asked about it and no-one else is experiencing it, or at least no-one who is commenting. Perhaps the best way to look at the blog is in a browser. Anyway, Happy New Year to you and yours.
What an intriguing pen/ pencil combo! Thanks for sharing these oddities and Happy 2024!
It’s a marvellous combo! Happy New Year!
What shows that the combo was made by Altura?
Altura patented this, it is imprinted with their patent number which was only completed in July 1939. Wedekind’s were not a manufacturer, as Deb said they were just a trader in various advertising items.
Thank you, Andy. Happy New Year!
I’m glad that Andy replied to this and saved me doing the explaining. Happy New Year, Peter. Glad to hear from you.
Thank you, Deborah. Happy New Year.
Is it the same design as the other Altura combo you wrote about previously?
As my memory doesn’t work I searched the blog, Peter. I didn’t write about an Altura combo before. You must be thinking of someone else. Actually, I’ve rarely written about combos.
It was your passing mention of the Two in One in your Altura Pen & Pencil Co. article
Thank you, Peter. You clearly know the blog better than I do! May 2024 be a good year for you and yours.
