This is a gilt propelling pencil.

The pencil has a slide which extends and at the end is a tube to hold a lead. The slide is very stiff and can hardly be moved. The lead in place now is worn down and will need to be replaced. The pencil needs some attention and is reflected in the price

The pencil is decorated with engraving and has a suspension loop half way up.

At the other end is a carved gold piece set with a green blood stone

The pencil as it is measures 46mm x 8mm wide

The pencil is in 75% mint condition – the gilding is dull and the slide is jammed.
