This necklace was handmade using a combination of new & vintage materials. It features a vintage marbled plastic mechanical pencil in cream & burgundy tones with a gold plated tip. I believe it was likely used to keep score in a game (perhaps bridge?) as it originally had a tassel attached. I think it was made sometime in the 1950’s. It still works & there is even a little lead in it (you can replace it when it runs out if you’d like to keep using it as a functional piece). It is on a new antiqued brass (over copper) chain which is finished with a brass (over copper) lobster clasp & a brass hexagon loop. The pencil measures 3" long & just shy of .5" wide. The chain is 33" long (can be shortened upon request). Handmade Reclaimed Vintage Mechanical Pencil Charm Pendant Necklace Functional Jewelry Marbled Plastic Midcentury Mcm Writer’s Gift
