MS915 Everite Coronation Souvenir Pencil

MS915 Everite Coronation Souvenir Pencil

Date: c1953

Size: Length - 120mm.

I run across these pencils quite often, but they are invariably in very poor condition.  This one is a happy exception.  The only damage I can see on it is some wear to the gold colouring on the point.  Unusually, all the little redand green stones are still attached.  The barrel is made from casein that is striated in red. white and blue.  It has a large barrel imprint saying that the pencil is a souvenir of the Queen's coronation in 1953.  It is a propel-repel pencil that works by twisting the gold plated p[oint.  I have fitted a fresh 1.18mm lead into the mechanism, so it is all ready to go.  

A lovely little pencil
