vintage metal pencil
$48.00
/
Tuck this little metal pencil beside a pocket notebook and you have the beginnings of a detective’s kit, complete with a case to investigate. It comes fitted with lead and has a cord loop on its removable cap. So why does it have a Rol-Write ballpoint pen box and instructions for refilling ink? The pencil and its paperwork tell different stories, and we haven’t yet found the clue that connects them. It would make a fitting gift for the crime-fiction reader who always spots the culprit before the detective does.
Metal pencil with graphite lead and a cord loop. Light surface wear to the pencil. Worn box; creased and torn leaflet.
About that mystery: the pencil comes with a Rol-Write ballpoint pen box and instruction leaflet. How they ended up together remains an open question.
Length: 11.2 cm.
Sourced in Japan.
