Condition Excellent condition with no cracks or chips. Very even color. This is a slim, full-sized pencil, in a consistent and beautiful shade of jade green. The cap and barrel have small surface scratches but no large or deep scratches visible except for what appears to be a "3" or "B" branded toward the top of the cap portion of the pencil. The cone and cap band also have the many small surface scratches. The ring top is nice and golden with a tad of plating wear here and there. The imprints are very readable.
