his is a beautiful victorian retractable rolled gold pencil with elaborate repousse work on the top with an inset garnet gemstone. The whole pencil has fancy etching all over. The top screws off to allow insertion of lead, the bottom slides in and out of the body on a track which is moved with a ring attached to the slide in the pencil. Total length 2 1/4" when closed. It is in excellent condition and has a rich, high shine to the gold. The garnet stone is very clear, no scratches with a nice cut, it is surrounded by beautiful repousse work. There is no lead . A most excellent Victorian Chatelaine pencil to add to a collection. Several pencils of this style are shown on pp. 68-69 of Deborah Crosby's book Victorian Pencils.
