Product Description
Type Mechanical pencil with huge leads .... sometimes these are called stock broker's pencils, and they can also be used for drawing.
Product Name Unknown. The only manufacturer's mark on the pen is "Swan Pen" on the clip with Mabie Todd's recognizable swan engraving.
Manufacturer and Year Mabie Todd Swan Co., a New York company – Unknown year, though the styling suggests it is from the 1920s or perhaps '30s.
Length 5-5/8"
Filling System Takes huge leads, bigger than we currently have on hand. We measured the opening, which is around 5.5mm so we think the modern 5.5mm leads will fit.
Color Gold filled finish and trim. There's a pattern of small groups of three lines which runs down most of the barrel.
Condition Very nice condition. There are half a dozern small, light dents in this pencil (see photos for one example) and a little brassing on the ball of the clip, the edge of the cone piece, and the upper corner of the top of the pen. No cracks or chips, only very light scratching. As mentioned above, the mechanism seems to be working very well.
The barrel is engraved "R.W." (see photos).
