A pencil made to match the Vacumatic pens, but I'm a bit fuddled as to
the date. The lack of a date code militates for it being a
pre-1938 model, but the arrow clip indicates a post-1938 model, so you can understand my confusion. It's a small object, 4 5/8" long and about 3/8" around.
Not much of a description, I grant. I'm somewhat cool on
pencils-- if I have the matching pen, it's a good thing to have, but a
pencil in isolation doesn't move me to much glee.
Specifications: 1.1mm lead.
Condition: Body
plastic in excellent shape, with a clear body
impression. No sign of brassing whatever. The eraser has
gone hard and somewhat greasy. The mechanism works smoothly, but
there is a bit of slipping between the outer body and inner (a picture
of the opened pencil here),
which requires a little squeezing of the upper barrel when turning for
best results. There's a little ambering on the lower body, on the
side with the impression.
Repairs:
Nothing.
Location: Leeds, Staffordshire.
