BU168 Burnham Pencil

BU168 Burnham Pencil

Date: c1950s

Size: Length - 110mm.

This is a rather attractive shorter Burnham pencil in burgundy and gold marbled casein.   It is in excellent condition with just a little discolouration to the gold plated point and some very minor plating wear to the pocket clip.  There are no noticeable surface scratches or other damage, and the pencil has a good glossy appearance.  The cap has a rather lovely conical-ended self-coloured top button that holds on the Burnham imprinted pocket clip.  The cone too is gold plated.  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 .  

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It works perfectly.
