_The self-supplying_
Pocket Writing Instrument,
OR
Scheffer's Patent Penograph.
[Illustration]
THE merit of this Instrument is that it contains Ink, and
supplies itself as required, by which means the writer is
enabled to use it for 10 or 12 hours with the same ease as
with a pencil, without the aid of an Inkstand; and is
manufactured in Gold or Silver, either with or without a
pencil case, and so constructed that either a Metallic or
Quill Nib may be applied. For sale by
June 24 [1825]. J.R. BUFFUM.
