50233-Rare Antique French JIF Silver-Plated Screw-Action Propelling Pencil

50233-珍藏法國JIF百年鍍銀螺旋推進式鉛筆Rare Antique French JIF Silver-Plated Screw-Action Propelling Pencil This charming antique mechanical pencil from France measures only 9 cm in length — compact, elegant, and easy to carry, making it a classic favorite among vintage writing instrument collectors. The body features refined Art Deco geometric engravings, reflecting the aesthetic of the 1920s. Inside lies a screw-action propelling mechanism, engraved with the “JIF” logo — the mark of the renowned French writing brand JiF Waterman. Elegant and finely crafted, it combines both collectible and functional value. Founded in the late 1920s, JiF Waterman was established by the American parent company Waterman to expand its presence in the French market. Though originally a subsidiary, JiF soon operated almost independently, with distinctive French design and production autonomy. Today, writing instruments bearing the “JIF” mark are highly sought-after by collectors. A thoughtful detail of this piece: the lead should not exceed 2 cm in length, ensuring it does not protrude when fully advanced. This pencil operates with a single-direction screw mechanism — it advances the lead smoothly but does not retract automatically; to retract, the lead must be gently pressed inward by hand, preserving the authentic engineering spirit of early 20th-century mechanical design. 補充筆芯方法 refer to the following clip for instructions on how to refill the pencil lead. https://youtube.com/shorts/thgf8V9RhRQ?si=IDBEPxL2RCYX09bX 數量內容content ：一支機械鉛筆A mechanical pencil 尺寸size：長L9cm;筆徑0.6cm （筆芯尺寸refill size 1.18m) 總重量weight ：12g 材質material : 鍍銀silver plate 年份Year：20世紀初early 20th century 印標hallmark : JIF Reference code : W50411-2309 ⚠️ 請留意：古董物件無論顏色與表面皆有歷史使用痕跡，若有任何問題，歡迎請來訊詢問。 ⚠️親愛的來自國外的朋友們，全球運輸提供安全包裝。 歡迎隨時與我們詢問運費相關事宜。 ⚠️ Please note: Antique objects have historical wear&tear of use regardless of color and surface.
