CR074 The Croxley Pencil.
Date: c1930s?
Size: Length - 127mm.
This is a good sized Croxley pencil in a very nice green and black marbled celluloid with gold filled trim. As usual, I have given this pen a thorough going over and the only damage that I was able to see was a little plating wear to the cap band. The pencil has a good original gloss, with no noticeable scratching or surface scuffing at all. It has a large black cap top button and is fitted with a gold filled arrow pocket clip. The barrel has two imprints - one saying "MADE IN GT BRITAIN", the other "THE CROXLEY PENCIL/ A DICKINSON PRODUCT". Both are crisp and clear. This is a propel - repel pencil and works by twisting the cap. The cap will also pull off and below is the original eraser holder, though the eraser has long gone. I have installed a fresh 1.18mm lead into the mechanism so it is all ready to go.
I have fully serviced this pencil. It works very well.
