W.S. Hicks? – MOP / Abalone – Gold

Magic pencil with covering of abalone and mother of pearl, in excellent condition. On the bottom trim of the pencil it is stamped “Pat. March 21 71” This is a Hicks patent date although it has appeared on some Fairchild and A.G. Days pencils although this one has no other markings. Since the patent date is Hick’s, I picked him as the “maker”.
