This vintage gold-tone metal mechanical pencil is attached to a matching chatelaine chain. The miniature mechanical pencil's metal case has six squared-off sides and the chain has a hook on the end. The mechanical pencil has lead and the retracting device is in working order. I'm not sure how the pencil opens to refill the lead. The vintage mechanical pencil and chain are in good condition showing wear consistent with age and use. Approximate Measurements: Pencil - 3" x 1/4" Chain & Hook - 15"
