Rare advertising pencil holder made of nickel-plated metal and printed paper for Chocolat Menier. This tubular model held a small, interchangeable pencil and served as both a utilitarian object and a promotional medium. The advertisement here highlights the "Powder Cartridge for Quick Preparation," a presentation of the famous Menier chocolate that has now disappeared. These small items were distributed or sold as promotional articles and have become uncommon due to their intensive use and fragility.
