From the workshops in Birmingham, England, time honored methods of craftsmanship have been preserved and passed on from generations. Authorized by the British Assay Office, each Yard-O-Led bears six stamps, as proof of the sterling silver quality. The Classic Viceroy is the epitome of Yard-O-Led quality and design, a collection to suit all writing styles. The subtle Barley pattern, combined with the classic shape of the Viceroy has created a writing instrument with traditional styling and broad appeal.
