Product Description
Type Vintage mechanical pencil.
Product Name Conklin Symetrik, as labeled beneath the clip, but in terms of design (flat top, grooves) it matches the Endura better.
Manufacturer and Year Conklin, USA -- 1920s
Length 5-716"
Filling System Takes 1.1mm (or "thick") leads which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. The mechanism is activated from the "cap" of the pencil and works well. There is an eraser beneath the cap but it doesn't fit perfectly and doesn't look usable.
Color Blue lapis celluloid. It is a dark blue with light blue mixed in. It has the classic Conklin clip, two bands near the cap and a dotted pattern at the top of the clip. The trim is gold filled.
Condition Excellent condition. The filling system works well and the barrel imprints are clear. The most brassing is around the dotted band on the cone and on the clip. There are light bite marks at the top of the pencil and microscratches throughout. The imprints are clear.
