Unknown Pencil “restoration”

Hello everyone!

To be honest, I just was looking for something to post again.. :p

I found this pencil along with a Wahl Eversharp Coronet Pencil (might be a later post) and two “MIOSOTIS” fountain pens, made in Austria, in a box in the cellar.
The material was a bit tarnished and the brass very dull, which was amended fairly fast. 🙂

Again, a bit of Brasso does wonders! And by judging on what I’ve recently acquired on ebay I’ll be using a ton of the stuff soon!
The body was “roughly” polished with micromesh, but I didn’t want a mirror finish so stopped somewhere around 7’000 grit.

Otherwise I really have no idea about this pencil, it looks a bit like a ‘kit’ pencil, and since a fair few of my ancestors were woodworkers it may be something like that.

Thanks for reading, I hope you’ve enjoyed it & as always, stay tuned!

Geoffrey
