Grandpa's Combination Pencil and Tie Clip
As I was helping my grandpa move into his new apartment, buried
amongst the pink slacks and talking wristwatches was a tie clip. Like
a magpie, I swooped in and captured the shiny cylinder (the pater
familias gave me the OK, don't worry). But oh! It wasn't just a tie
clip - it was also an extensible pencil. The pencil telescopes from
2.25" to 4.13" and takes 1 mm lead. Twisting the tip advances the
lead. Of course, there's not much lead to advance.
tie clip, it adequately keeps one's ascot out of one's gazpacho.
