I’ll put a girdle round the earth in forty minutes - from Shakespeare’s A midsummer night’s dream

I’ll put it much quicker than that – written by Guglielmo Marconi on the Menu of a gala dinner held in London , 1911

Fashioned from 925 sterling silver and embellished with a series of 14 slender bands representing the propagation of radio waves through the ether. The clip is an elegant and appropriate symbolization of the Morse code wireless telegraphy key, perfect in keeping with the rest of the pen and its Medium 18 k gold nib, which engraved on the back with an official logo of the Marconi Foundation.
