This high quality antique sliding pencil has a barly twist like barrel with hand engraving. It's sterling silver (tested) and has a foliate ring to push out the nozzle. The nozzle has all of its parts and is in good working order (twists out the lead). This is also a chatelaine pencil that can be attached onto a chatelaine belt .
The ornate finial has a round seal set with a beautiful amethyst color stone. It unscrews and stores extra leads. The silver is in fabulous condition . It measures 2 1/4inches closed and 3 inches extended. Several pencils of this style are shown on pp. 68-69 of Deborah Crosby's book Victorian Pencils.
