This positively glamorous object - a solid gold propelling toothpick - calls to mind a bygone era of items built to last a lifetime, while also communicating a certain something about the style and means of their owner. Though crafted in the 1980s, this piece feels like something three quarters of a century older, reminiscent of the popular Edwardian era retractable pencils before it, and even midcentury cocktail swizzlers styled as pendants. This dreamy article ensures that you'll never be caught looking any less than your best.

Fair vintage condition with some dents to case and the tip purposely bent.
