Liddell's 1922 and 1925 Patent Moores

The earliest Moore pencils (other than the ACFAD I introduced here last December) were designed by John Liddell and patented on August 15, 1922. I've pictured a group of them on page 100 of The Catalogue, but I lamented at the time that I only had one example in all metal, and it was a ringtop.  I was able to cure that problem at the Baltimore Show.
