Buyer's premium:

A group of five vintage writing instruments and a small implement. The collection comprises two hexagonal-barreled mechanical pencils: one yellow metal example marked “CROSS” and “1/20 10K”, and one plain silver-toned model. Also included are two cylindrical mechanical pencils: a yellow metal example with engraved scrollwork and a pocket clip, and a highly decorative silver-toned example with intricate floral/geometric engraving and a fluted finial. The fifth item is a small, slender, ribbed silver-toned tool with a ring finial. Materials are primarily various yellow and silver-toned metals, likely brass, gold-filled, silver, or plated alloys. The items suggest an early to mid-20th-century period for the more ornate pieces.
