Title: Silver mechanical pencil
Post by: totlematin on June 02, 2015, 12:26:12 PM

Hello!

I've had the luck to come upon this lovely mechanical pencil at an antiques shop whilst visiting Hungary, but as much as I've been browsing the internet for any information that could help me define the decade this has been made in, I haven't found much. There are some similar pens that have been made in the 1910s, though. But I hope there is someone in this forum with more knowledge on the matter. Please share any insights you have! I'd be forever thankful.

Hi!  Does this one have a spring in it?  Is there any marking on the end?

No, it doesn't have a spring. And no marking, either.
