BU151 Burnham Pencil

BU151 Burnham Pencil

Date: c1950s

Size: Length - 118mm.

This is a rather attractive shorter Burnham pencil in green and bronze marbled casein.   It is in very good condition and the only damage I can see on it is the gold plating that has thinned on the pocket clip and a little bit discoloured on the cap band.  This is very common with these pencils as the plating even when new was little more than a gold wash.  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 point 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 domed black top there is a lead storage area beneath.

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It works perfectly.
