Product Description
Type | Vintage mechanical pencil |
Product Name |
One of the early flat top style pencils. Here's a wonderful, incredibly comprehensive reference page on Wahl Eversharp pencils at the MECHANICAL PENCIL MUSEUM web site. |
Manufacturer and Year | Wahl Eversharp USA - 1924-30 |
Length | 5-5/16" |
Filling System |
Extends 1.1mm (or "thick") leads via the traditional twist-mechanism. We'll include a small packet of vintage leads. Like many Wahl pencils the design requires you to push them in in order to retract. You can load the leads via the tip, or pull out the inner working and load the internal carrier, |
Color | Red Mottled. It seems to be hard rubber, though it is awfully shiny and might be cellluloid (Wahl was making these pencils in celluloid and hard rubber.). The trim is gold filled, and the cone is chrome plated. |
Personalization | None. |
Condition |
Excellent condition though the cone is quite worn and discolored. The body is in great condition with a just few small scratches and normal hand wear. There is a little bit of wear at the top of the clip and a dent on the very top of the pencil and to the right of the clip. Overall this pencil is really quite beautiful, and working nicely. |
