Vintage 9k Retractable Cigar Poke/Toothpick

A vintage classic with English hallmarks, this solid gold toothpick reveals a pointed, twisted pick when you twist the piece—perfectly suited for teeth picking or cigar poking. Gold picks were common personal accessories and status symbols throughout the Georgian and Victorian eras; its English 9ct hallmark tells us this piece dates to 1854 or later, when 9ct gold became a legal British standard.
