Welsbach Incandescent Gas Light Company advertising pencil holder and writing slope. (New South Wales). Miscellaneous. Advertising. Black print on white sloped ceramic pencil holder. 164 mm across. 1900s
Very Good. (7). A wonderful piece of advertising. Crazing throughout. Print looks above glaze. Plenty of stains including some rust stains. Discoloured hairline curves around the top right rear base edge corner. Little flake under lower right base edge. Fine hairline under the base. Lower left base edge underneath also has a hairline. The main design has a little fading and wear, to the right of this the square area has a bit more fading to the lightly coloured area. The Welsbach Light Co were in Pitt Street, Sydney, advertising that their lights were made in Australia by Australians. However, Baron Welsbach was Austrian and so there may have been other forms of this company overseas? A great item.. Estimate: $75-100
