As Jon suggested to me, it also is a Salz.

I quickly got hooked on the mini detective stories that you present here and ordered a couple of Wahl Eversharps from ebay to see what 1920s pencils are like.<br /><br />I'm curious as to what kind of pencil Joe's clip is on. It has an interesting engraved leafy pattern but I can't see any name.<br /><br />The sea serpent clip is amazing.

In place of the serpent's head and tail, it has ivy leaves or five-petaled flowers. The silver work is also elaborate, almost like the sea serpent. The vine clip has some stylistic differences: it coils in the opposite direction from the sea serpent and snakes, and the uncoiled part descends from a curve rather than a right angle.<br /><br />The ivy clip is in Joe's box #060, which is in the 13th row, last column on the right.
