Photographed probably my oldest pen on top of some other old stuff. In the picture under the BCHR ED is a Heyde Photo Telemeter ... think of a pocket rangefinder usually used with cameras that had only scale focusing, that is they lacked a rangefinder or other focusing aid, I have the leather GHD snap case it stays in which is very dark with patina. They were made in 1928 (the previous version made in 1925 uses a slide scale rather than a wheel). No clue on the age of the BCHR Eye-Dropper, as theres no branding, and the nib (14K Warranted writes about a medium) was taken from a camera from the 30s. I guess the pen itself could be as old as the 1890s or as new as the 1910s, no way to know.
