This is an exceptionally rare antique solid silver mechanical propelling pocket pencil, dating from the late Victorian era.

Measuring 5.5cm when closed and weighing 2.31 grams, the piece features a beautiful, crisp engine-turned barrel with a smoothly functioning slide mechanism that extends the pencil.

The true highlight of this pocket rarity is the crown finial, which is inset with a genuine green bloodstone slab featuring subtle red jasper inclusions.

The hardstone is hand-engraved with the highly collectible, sentimental Victorian love token motto: "LOVE TO THEE".

This unique piece was designed as a functional pocket wax seal used to stamp affectionate messages onto private correspondence.

Please note this is an antique item with age related wear it will not be in perfect condition like a modern item.

A standout addition for any collector of historical writing accessories, wax seals, or rare Objects of Vertu.
