This positively glamorous object - a solid gold propelling toothpick, with a swirling, hypnotic form - 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 1970s, this piece feels like something more than half 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.

Very good vintage condition.
