AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000001951

The mechanical pencil is kept in very good overall condition, especially notable considering its age, dating around 1915.

The golden metallic body maintains a uniform shine, with a natural patina characteristic of the passage of time that enhances its historical character without affecting its aesthetics. The geometric engravings are sharp and well-defined, with no excessive wear or loss of detail, indicating careful use throughout its life.

The patent registration 'PAT. JAN. 1915' is perfectly legible, as are the manufacturer marks, which is especially valued in collectible pieces. No structural hits, dents, or deformations are observed on the body.

The metallic clip is complete, properly aligned, and securely fastened, maintaining its original shape. The conical tip shows minimal wear consistent with age, with no visible damage.

Overall, it is a very well-preserved piece, ideal both for collecting historical writing instruments and for careful occasional use, always with the right nib.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Good auction!
