A very fine & rare antique Victorian 10ct gold & enamel magic propelling pencil. Cylindrical shaped body with beautiful enamel fine detailed decoration around the outside depicting a young lady in a country scene. The pencil has a 10ct gold stepped bottom band & a swivelling suspension loop & ring on the top. By pulling the bottom band the pencil telescopically extends & the pencil tip extends from inside. The pencil tip has a twist action which extends & retracts the pencil lead mechanism. Both mechanisms are in excellent working order. The pencil comes complete with a pencil lead in the tip. The pencil is stamped on the side of the body with the makers mark. Lovely collectors item.
