CO023: Conklin Endura Symetrik Pencil

Date: c1920s

Size: Length - 4 3/8 inches

A rather pretty little Conklin pencil in the beautiful pearl and black or "nacre" marbled celluloid.  This pencil is in excellent condition, and I cannot find any damage on it at all. The top of the pen pulls off and below is a used pink eraser in its original metal holder.  Below that is the lead storage area, and although there are no spare leads there at present, I have fitted a fresh 1.1m lead into the mechanism so it is all ready to go.  The top has a chatelaine / watch chain ring attached and a gold filled band at the bottom.  Just above the band is Conklin's trade mark golden crescent.  The top of the barrel has a matching gold filed band with a good crisp imprint directly below.  The cone is also gold filled with a milled decorated band.  This is a propel-repel pencil and works by twisting the top.

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It works well.  These are very unusual pencils and are hard to come by - especially here in the UK.
