BU156 Burnham Pencil, boxed

Date: c1950s

Size: Length - 115mm.

This is a very beautiful Burnham pencil in a most unusual blue, gold and black marbled casein.   It is in excellent condition even the gold plated trim shows no damage or plating wear.  There no noticeable surface scratches or other damage, and the pencil has a good glossy appearance.  The cap has a domed black top button that holds on the Burnham imprinted pocket clip.  There is a single gold plated band mid-barrel.   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 . The box is a simple gold foil covered paperboard stock box - it has some surface wear to the gold foil.  Inside there is the original instruction sheet.

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It works perfectly.
