I will be disposing of some very unusual and scarce mechanical pencils over the next few weeks, so keep me pegged for more unique mechanisms and little seen patent examples.
This is for a stunning antique French silver carpenters pencil fashioned as an elephants head c1900. It is beautifully designed with an elongated trunk and fine detailing to show the texture of the elephants skin. The silver has not been polished at all so the patina shows off the elephants features perfectly. The silver is marked 900 along with DEP and a makers mark that i cant make out. The holder has some of the original cedar pencil inside and it is all in excellent condition, as good as you will find, there are no dings or dents, no splits cracks repairs or restorations and no wear...just as you would want to find it. It measures 80mm (3.25\")long when closed by 14mm (0.5\"). Please check out all the other pencils, lighters, vesta\'s, snuff boxes, pipes, pens, pencils, clocks, cases and other vintage gentlemans accessories we are selling on this week. We will always combine items together to reduce postage costs.
