Travelers’ Brass Pencil

The Traveler’s brass pencil was originally shiny but over time, the brass tarnishes to an attractive patina with use. Replacement pencils and a eraser are available. I also bought a clip holder to attach the pencil to notebooks.

Product description at website:

A pencil integrated with a brass holder made at a press factory in Japan. When not in use, the pencil is set inside the main unit, so you can carry it around easily. By removing the part with the eraser attached, you can use it without clips. Use it as a companion on your life trip, always clipping it around your leather cover, removing the clip and throwing it in your pocket. Solid brass shines golden at the beginning of use, but as you continue to use it, the surface oxidizes and changes its color to a deep and vintage color.
