It's an interesting lead, but I don't think this is our GG. First, the items in the auction are all imprinted "GG" on the barrel, as was usual, and not on the clip. Also, the clip does not appear to be engraved but looks to have been made with that logo on it. <br /><br />Finally, I see that Ms. Garbo was born in 1905 - she wouldn't have been a teenager yet by the time the pencil was made. (Of course on this last point, the clip could easily have been slipped off something else and put on this pencil).<br /><br />Thanks for writing!Jon Veleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324280175564551826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066831911322883231.post-58208448854030283322012-09-24T07:40:15.122-07:002012-09-24T07:40:15.122-07:00Thanks!

There is an estate property auction coming up in Dec. 14-15 2012, with other pens that are also initialed. Here is a link to the video I made on youtube, you can also see the description for links to the Juliens auction, there are similar lower-case monograms here. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1v54i1Ka7YAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
