Product Description
Type Vintage small size mechanical pencil.
Product Name Tuckaway Pencil. We see this in a 1949 catalog as simply Tuckaway with no additional designation. Most of the Tuckaway pens were White Dot models (Crest, Sentinel, Valiant), and this one is not a White Dot model.
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA - 1940s
Length 4-1/16"
Filling System It takes 0.9mm (or "thin") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. We'll include a small pack of leads.
Color Persian Blue with gold plated trim.
Condition Excellent condition. Light handwear on the body of the pencil. The trim looks really good, no brassing or plating wear on the clip. The cap band and cone have microscratching. There are some bite marks in the grooved ridges near the tip. The imprints are clear. It's a lovely little pencil, and working very well.
