Fairchild – Acorn – Gold

Figural magic pencil by Fairchild. This is likely a pencil that was made for the UK market by Fairchild as it has the US patent info as well as the UK registration diamond. The body of the acorn has the initials LWF (for Leroy W Fairchild); and the diamond hallmark lozenge which is interpretted as 1877, and the 28th day of what appears to be September (month code “D” is quite faint).
