[QUOTE="BoudiccaJones, post: 4465107, member: 5592"][CENTER][SIZE=5][COLOR=#ff0080]I wish I'd taken a pic of this when I found it on Saturday,was covered in crud, at the bottom of a house clearance box at my local booty I somehow, despite not collecting any of it, seem to have a not entirely small collection of pencils, mechanical and propelling. So this'll fit right in The bit on the top is a bit skewhiff and the original rubber has perished but it's in great condition really. I thought it was a fake originally because it said WATERMENS with an *s* but it seems it was written that way until the 60s I think this is a 1941 pencil with gold plated bits. It even has the original lead Not worth much in monies but I am so thrilled to have her in my collection! ( that I didn't know I had til I looked) [IMG]https://scontent.fbrs1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/278817116_10160317084094283_5152102685178630759_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=Cg3QyIc0QlEAX_B00rp&tn=N3FONN49aEuPegCX&_nc_ht=scontent.fbrs1-1.fna&oh=00_AT8wU9ev7N2ZTN6Yw1sF3ZA4gnibJMCW5SQhKD4eux5EXQ&oe=6276E4C0[/IMG] [IMG]https://scontent.fbrs1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/279943560_10160317084114283_2066082576288899155_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-5&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=_LfXsJpwv44AX9rGWWL&_nc_ht=scontent.fbrs1-1.fna&oh=00_AT_P37-ub96Cldwgyh9B2r7AP49GhC1NKfPVCYXjIbBv8g&oe=6276D32F[/IMG] (My pics are never very good but I took these quickly to show my Facebook friends x) [/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
