Help with hallmarks on small antique gold notepad

[John Casson]

I would appreciate any help identifying the first two marks on a small antique gold notepad that my mother bequeathed to me. Although I haven’t a clue how she acquired it, I suspect she bought it at a thrift shop.

Am I correct in assuming the very faint mark on the left is the maker’s mark?
Does anyone have an idea who the maker might be? (The notepad looks like the sort of thing Tiffany might have made.)
What does the 9 next to it mean?

In addition, am I correct in gleaning the following from the other 3 hallmarks?
“375” within an almost rectangular border indicates the metal is 9 carat or 37.5% gold.
The next figure is an “r” which is the date letter for 1932.
The Leopard’s head represents the London Assay Office.

There also are what appear to be three marks on the gold mechanical pencil, only one of which is clear. I can’t tell whether it is 9?? or ??6. Does anyone have a clue what they might be or could mean?



Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I believe you are correct in reading the marks as nine carat, 1932, London. Can't see the maker's mark to the left well enough to help you with it. Maybe someone else will have some ideas.

Pat.
