BU133 Burnham Pencil

BU133 Burnham Pencil

Date: c1950s

Size: Length - 114mm.

This is a rather attractive and rather unusual Burnham pencil.  I am not sure what it is made from - probably a rhodium plated base metal or "nickel silver".  This is the first all-metal Burnham pencil I have ever seen and until now I was unaware that any were ever made.  It is in excellent condition with no damage that I could spot.  The barrel is decorated repeating groups of vertical wavy lines.  The cap has a domed top button that holds on the Burnham imprinted pocket clip.  This is a propel-repel pencil that works by twisting the cone.  I have fitted a fresh 1.18mm pencil lead into the mechanism so it is all ready to go .  If you unscrew the cap, there is a lead storage area inside that is plugged by a pink eraser. 

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It works perfectly.
