Product Description
Type Vintage mechanical pencil
Product Name Esterbrook Pastels, First Generation (the jewels are black)
Manufacturer and Year Esterbrook, USA - 1954-57
Length 4-1/2"
Filling System The pencil takes 0.9mm (or "thin") leads, which it extends via the cap-actuated mechanism, just like most modern mechanical pencils (press the cap down to extend). We'll include a small packet of leads.
Color Grey with chrome trim and black end jewels.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The cap and barrel have only light scratching. The cap band has some plating wear. The clip and cone look great. The top cap jewel is in great condition. The imprint on the clip is clear.
The Purse/Pastel pens and pencils were made with a more fragile plastic than other Esterbrook pens, and it's common to find cracks in the cap lips, but there are none here. Because of this, we suggest that you do not post this pen, or use extreme caution in doing so.
