Condition Excellent condition, with no cracks or chips. This is a beautifully colored pencil in a nice hand size. The surface has some light cluster scratches that dull it in places (e.g., to the left of the end of the clip toward the cap band, under the cap band on the barrel, etc.). There are scratches (perhaps bite marks) in the surface above the clip. The nose cone and clip look great. The cap band has a tad of plating wear. There is an old hard eraser. The imprints are readable.
