This is a change of pace video. I have a modest collection of vintage fountain pens and pencils. I'm just getting around to restoring them to working order. This is one of them. It is a 1930s or 1940s Havalite Bakelite mechanical pencil which hides a secret...it's also a cigarette lighter!
Here are some resources for further reading on this vintage curiosity:
