Rare Cigar Cutter and Propelling Pencil Pistol Gun Fob Pendant Antique Victorian
ENK8280
£480.00
A striking Victorian-era novelty piece combining practical elegance with whimsical design. This dual-function fob pendant features a functional cigar cutter paired with a propelling pencil, ingeniously crafted in the shape of a miniature pistol—a charming conceit typical of 19th-century gentleman's accessories. The mother-of-pearl handle gleams with warm iridescence, whilst the cutting mechanism remains responsive. Compact enough to dangle from a watch chain or waistcoat pocket, it exemplifies the Victorian passion for multi-purpose tools disguised as decorative objects. A rare find for collectors of antique writing instruments, smoking accessories, or curious period novelties. Excellent condition with authentic patina befitting its age.
Max size 6.4 x 3.0 cm or 2.5 x 1.2 inches.
