• Original box is present and included; the box shows age wear, corner wear, staining, and surface scuffs.
• The pointer body shows visible use wear, including scuffs, rubbed edges, and tape residue on the underside.
• The top opening and domed fastener are visible; the piece appears complete as photographed, but no internal mechanism is shown in detail.

Made for sharpening pencil leads in drafting and technical drawing work, this is the kind of desk tool collectors display with other vintage office or drafting equipment today.
