Product Description
Type Mechanical pencil.
Product Name Madison.
Manufacturer and Year Caran d'Ache, Swiss Made -- circa 1970s.

Color Sterling silver with a lengthwise textured surface. Gold-plated trim.
Condition Excellent + condition, in box. This is a slim, elegant mechanical pencil. There are light signs of usage throughout. The sterling has developed some tarnish which can be polished off, or left as is if you like the patina. There is a tiny nick on the top of the cap, on the silver part just below the button, about 90 degrees from the clip. We've included a closeup of this area in the photos. There is a tiny bit of brassing on the clip, as well as some patina developing, but no plating wear. No personalization. Ships in original clamshell box with outer cardboard box.
Here is a closeup of the tiny nick on the edge of the silver below the button:
