ANTIQUE 20s 18k SOLID GOLD WAHL-EVERSHARP HISTORIC PRESENTATION ENGRAVED PENCIL

Description

Up for auction is a historic Wahl-Eversharp 18k solid gold (hallmarks on the pencil) presentation writing pencil. This presentation pencil has the initials M J O engraved on the barrel. The initials stand for M. J. Oswald and was presented in 1920 to him by the Pennsylvania historic jewelry company J. E. Caldwell Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Caldwell Jewelry was in business from 1839 on Chestnut St. until 2003. The barrel is also engraved Wahl Eversharp Patented 18K Solid Gold. The weight of the complete pen is 24 grams. Total weight of gold is 17 grams (I removed the inner workings of the pencil for exact weight). If the magazine is also solid gold it would weigh more. The original eraser is still present. Magazine still in perfect working order. Case is in used condition but still works properly. The clasp snaps shut as it should. Hinges are fine. Inside the case is the J. F. Caldwell logo. Length of the pen is 5 1/4". Any questions please email me. Check out my other auctions for more great stuff. Shipping is .00 inc. insurance.
