60s “Florenza” Mechanical Pencil Beaded Buddha Gold-Plated hotsell Metal with Stand Vanity Accessory Vintage 1960s

This is a unique, vintage 1960s, beaded, gold-plated, filigree, Buddha, mechanical pencil made by FLORENZA. The mechanical pencil measures 4.25 inches long and the coordinating stand measures .75 inches tall by 1.75 inches in diameter. When the pencil is placed in the base the height is 4.5 inches tall. Often the stands get lost, but this pair miraculously stayed together. This lovely features an off-white, molded, double-sided buddha at the top with off-white beads covered in gold-plated, openwork filigree down the stem. The molded buddha at the top I believe is made of resin and measures .75 inch wide by 1 inch in height. It is a working pencil with lead, but I do not know how to put more lead in when this lead runs out. It is in very, good condition with the exception of tarnished, gold-plating. If you are a Buddha collector, I bet you don't have one of these? This hotsell would also make a nice addition to any vanity, Florenza collection. Please be sure before purchasing as this item is NOT returnable. (12/21)
