Victorian-Era Retractable Toothpick; Gold-Fill ? & Mother-Of-Pearl; Unmarked:
$143.50

Offered hereis a Victorian-Era retractable toothpick. Given its size and the absence of a ring on the top, this item was most likely a vest pocket item.Thetoothpick advances and withdraws as intended by design. The item is partially metallic and partially mother-of-pearl. With no mark appearing on the instrument as to the metal content, I am suggesting that it ismost likelygold fill.

As seen in Scan #1,in the advanced position, theinstrument measures approximately2 3/4\" in length. The surfaceexhibits extremely limited wear, with the metal portionbearing a highly-ornate design. Nocracks,chips, dents,or scratchesare noted on either the metallic or mother-of-pearl surfaces.No evidence of oxidationor brassing is present. Scan #2 shows thetoothpickfully withdrawn.

As is the case with all of the vintageitem of this nature thatI offer for offerding,thispiecewas recently acquired at a localestate sale, and isbeing sold \"as-is\".Please review the scans carefully. I will reply to your questions emailed to me in a prompt and factual manner.

Although not shown in the scans, asecond Victorian-Era toothpick which is damaged will be included as a \"bonus\" itemin the mailing to the successful high buyer.

U.S postage is set at3.00 which includes a USPS Tracking Number.
