[Woodland Detectors]

I found this cool old pencil yesterday. It still writes. Does anyone know the age of this? Reads: "PAL" Thanks!

Pal mechanical pencils like that have floated through eBay from time to time. One was described as a "dance card pencil." Another was described as "Victorian."

In1921 a buck was a lot to pay for a pencil . I think it was one of the very first mechanicals, new technoligy has always been expensive . Tony
