BAKELITE, STEEL AND METAL PENCIL. S.XIX.

Description:
- A second half XIXth century tyraline. It would probably belong to a compass box.
- A two-piece twirling line. The handle is made of one piece of bone assembled to the head, of a mixture of white metals.
- The reeds are made of steel and a mixture of white metals.
- On the tongues, the castor is fitted with a small plate to give a more even pressure on the tongue.
- The base of the handle ends in a beautifully carved miniature ball.
- The tips of the tongues are in very good condition. The distance between the tongues is adjusted by means of a metal wheel with a threaded pin that goes through the upper tongue, threading into the lower tongue.
- It has the Stanley mark engraved on the handle and a cylindrical head which acts as a transition, probably with a bolt fitted into the handle, so that the whole of the line puller behaves as a single body.
- It is of great importance that the object has some Distinctive, Mark or Contrast, in order to be able to identify data such as its author, the place where it was made and other details.
