British Antique Mechanical Pencil Bloodstone Decoration Telescoping 84-108mm
SKU: 202402234151
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.
A dark green blood stone with red spots is embedded in the butt of the pen.
The structure is such that the lead comes out when you slide the pen tip and rotate the tip.
Rotate the end of the pen to remove it, and a replacement lead will fit inside.
The lead thickness is 1.6mm, which is difficult to obtain, so it may be better to modify the nib to 1.4mm or 2.0mm.
We hope that this “once in a lifetime opportunity” will be a special encounter for you!
