BU177 Burnham Pencil

BU177 Burnham Pencil

Date: c1950s

Size: Length - 120mm.

This is a rather attractive Burnham pencil in red and gold marbled celluloid.   It is in excellent condition and the only damage I can see on it is a ittle discolouration to the gold plating on the point of the pencil.  There are no noticeable surface scratches or other damage, and the pencil has a good glossy appearance.  The cap has a gold plated top button that holds on the Burnham imprinted pocket clip.  At the top of the barrel and three narrow gold plated bands.  he 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.  If you unscrew the cap, this reveals the original1 pink eraser below.

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It works perfectly.
