France, circa 1900-1930's. This lovely little 18 karat gold pendant opens to reveal a functioning mechanical pencil. The cap pulls off easily to allow you to pull the end which extends the pencil: turning the end to advance and pull back the pen. There is a tiny crack beginning on the cap, barely discernible with the naked eye, but visible under magnification. There are also some tiny dents, appropriate to age and not very visible. Dimensions: 2.25 inches long, including the bail (closed) by 1/4 inch in diameter. When full extended it measures 3.5 inches in length. Location: France Status: For Sale Reference#: 3221 Condition: fair Year: 1920-30 Country: France Height: .25 in. (0.63 cm) Width: 3.5 in.
