John Holland Oversize Mechanical Pencil - Orange, 1.1mm Leads (Very Nice, Works Well)

Type  Vintage Mechanical Pencil

Product Name Unknown

Manufacturer and Year  John Holland  USA-- Probably the 1930's or 40's

Length  5-3/8"

Filling System  Uses 1.1mm (aka "Thick") lead, and extends lead in the traditional twist-method. Twist the pencil barrel while holding the barrel end piece.

Color Orange barrel with 1/40 14k gold filled trim. Ball ended clip.

Condition  Very Nice condition. There's a good amount of brassing on most of the gold plating - barrel end piece, clip, and nose cone. There is a mark in the barrel material, which we've detailed in the photos below; the picture shows how the light bends where the mark is present. Eraser is still present underneath the barrel end piece. The John Holland imprint is clear and sharp. It works great.
