British Antique Mechanical Pencil Red Glass Decoration Telescoping 81-98mm
SKU: 202402234152
We would like to introduce you to antique mechanical pencils.
Mechanical pencils have a long history, having been made since the 18th century.
This is a propelled pencil with beautiful decorations on the silver-plated pen barrel.
It is a small type that can be expanded and contracted, called a magic pencil.
Red glass at the end of the pen? is embedded.
There is a mark in the middle of the shaft so that it can be dipped into a chain etc.
The structure is such that the lead comes out when you slide the tip of the pen and rotate the tip, and a replacement lead can be inserted inside the pen by rotating the end of the pen and removing it.
We hope that this “once in a lifetime opportunity” will be a special encounter for you!
