Product Description
Type Vintage mechanical pencil.
Product Name Doric - this is one of the later colors.
Manufacturer and Year Wahl Eversharp, USA -- they started making this color in 1935.
Length 5-1/4"
Filling System Takes 1.1mm leads which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. It firmly grips the leads and successfully extends and retracts them. An eraser can be found beneath the cap but it is not in good condition.
Color "Bronze & Green," is a translucent orange-bronze color with dark yellow-green veins. It is faceted and has a decorative band with cutouts. The trim is gold filled.
Condition Very nice working condition. The celluloid has started to clarify a bit at the top of the cap, and you often find this color with lots of crystalization and cracks, so you have to be gentle with this part of the pencil. There are heavy bite marks in that part of the cap, and more lighter bitemarks elsewhere. The clip, barrel band, and cone all have some plating wear. The clip has been personalized, "RHM." It's working very well.
