Product Description
Type Vintage mechanical pencil.
Product Name Fifth Avenue, standard size
Manufacturer and Year Eversharp, USA, 1950s

Filling System Takes 1.1mm (or "Thick") leads, which it extends by the cap-actuated mechanism, where you press the eraser-cap piece down, just like modern day mechanical pencils. We've added a few leads to the internal lead storage area.
Color Black barrel, 1/10 14k yellow gold filled cap, trim, and cone. The cap is pretty, with horizontal lines on the cap and clicker and an interesting stylized clip.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is an attractive pencil that is very shiny and elegant. The barrel has light to moderate random scratches; it is very velvety black and shiny. The cap looks very pretty with some light marks and little dots of tarnish near the top. The cone has brassing, moderate scratching, and some plating wear. The clip has quite a lot of scratching near the top and a couple of dots of tarnish near the end. The clicker looks nice. The imprints are clear.
