BU160 Burnham Pencil

BU160 Burnham Pencil

Date: c1950s

Size: Length - 121mm.

This is a very beautiful Burnham pencil in a most unusual dark green and light green marbled casein with the odd small inclusion of an ambery brown colour.  Very lovely.   It is in very good condition - unfortunately, the pocket clip has some plating wear - this is very common with these pencils.  There no noticeable surface scratches or other damage, and the pencil has a good glossy appearance.  The cap has a domed gold plated top button that holds on the Burnham imprinted pocket clip.  There is a double 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 .  If you unscrew the pencil mid-barrel there is a space to store your spare 1.18mm leads.  In the top part there is the original partly used pink eraser.  

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It works perfectly.
