A quality antique Victorian rolled gold mechanical propelling Pencil with a sun dial end to the finial . The pencil propels by pulling the shaft up and down the body of the pencil. I had originally thought the finial end had a compass inset, although it is in fact a sun dial - excellent! The length of this pencil is decorated with a fine engine turned design - very nice indeed. There is a little denting around the pencil end, however this does not affect the appearance greatly, and I'm mentioning this to be totally accurate. This is an excellent quality propelling pencil. Please see photographs. Weight: 15 grams (for information purposes only) Length closed: 3 inches Length open: 4.75 inches Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask . I am always happy to combine postage for multiple purchases
