Silver Mechanical Pencil found in an old park

Beautiful!
In my 5 years of metal detecting I found 3 or 4 of them, but all were too damaged to properly restore them...

That's a nice score, I like. I found a few Bronson lighters along the way but couldn't restore, its still nice 👍

Terrific @Göttinger , what did yours look like? I bet they were very nice less the damage.

One was a little bit like yours, it had a small tube to hold the pencil and a attachable (screw on) handle wich was made from a rather decorative thin silver tube filled with lead.
The other ones were mechanical pencils wich were designed to hold just the thin graphite rod inside the pencil. One was rather plain, no fancy except for a clip at the upper end to securely hold it in your pocket.
Another one had a fishscale engraving all over the pencil, but unfortunately it got heavily damaged by the lawnmower at some point.
The last one had the engraved name and adress of a former local brick manufacturer, wich was active between the 1910's and early 1960's. Unfortunately I could not find any person related to this former factory to find out any further information.

I've dug coins that got hit by the lawn mower as well, yavhate to see it but...

A few years ago a friend of mine and me got permission to dig at a small waterpark while they were remodeling the area.
About ¼ of all spendable coins were cut / bent by the lawnmower. Most of the jewellery got torn into pieces aswell.

Ouch, yeah I get it. Best wishes

Cool
