Estate Find: Vintage Mechanical Pencil Collection (17-Piece Lot)
Up for absolute auction with a $1 start and no reserve is a fantastic, fresh-to-the-market grouping of 17 vintage mechanical pencils sourced directly from a local estate. This lot offers an incredible cross-section of early-to-mid-20th-century design, featuring a vibrant mix of shimmering marbled celluloids, pearlescent plastics, classic utility pieces, and even a unique oversized wooden cigar novelty pencil complete with its original tobacco band.
Many of these pieces serve as miniature time capsules, featuring crisp vintage advertising graphics for classic American businesses, including Anheuser-Busch, State Farm, Capital City Forging Works, and Acme Bearing Service.
Condition & Age Note:
Please keep in mind that these items are approaching 100 years old. While the great majority of the internal twist and click mechanisms are surprisingly still functional and working, this entire lot is being sold strictly AS IS for parts, restoration, or display.
As expected with genuine estate items of this vintage, they all show honest signs of age and use. This includes surface scuffs, scratches, brassing on the metal pocket clips, and the typical hardening to the original built-in erasers under the caps.
What you see is exactly what you get. Please take a close look at the gallery photos to accurately evaluate the colors, makers, and cosmetic condition before bidding.
