Antique Victorian 9ct Cased Propelling Pencil Circa 1890
The body of the pencil is engraved with a fine scrolling pattern and the head of the pencil is deeply engraved with a foil backed paste gem to the top which also has a screw mechanism allowing access to the inside of the pencil and spare lead can be stored.
This one does retain some original lead at present.
The slide and propeller mechanism works soundly, the original sliding bale and jump ring are present and will accommodate a fine chain allowing this one to be worn as a pendant.

Customers are not purchasing 'new', 'perfect' and 'unworn items', and as such, should expect wear and imperfection. Any condition issues are always extensively mentioned in the condition summary.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions prior to purchase. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that these descriptions and pictures are carefully viewed and any questions are asked prior to the transaction taking place.
