Porte-Crayon
Handmade by Peter Goebel. Historic reproduction.
We know these as mechanical pencils – they are simply holders for leads. They are great for sketching or writing in the field when you don’t want to mess with ink & quills. Leads can be inserted into both ends. A ring slides down to tighten the metal around the leads. Two period-correct leads are included.
Dated: ca. 1750. Origin: French/English. Materials: brass.
Dimensions: Regular: 5″ long.
