CO025: Conklin Endura Symetrik Pencil

Date: c1930s

Size: Length - 5 5/16 inches

A large black celluloid penscil from I would think the late 1930s.  It is in very good condition.  It has several small dings to the large nickel plated cone, and a few very fine and difficult to find scratches to the celluloid barrel, but no other damage that I can see apart from that. The crown has a large exposed pink eraser at the end, now worn down.  Just below the eraser is the crisp imprint, and below that a milled band to afford a good positive grip.  Using the milled part you can twist the crown to extend and retract the 1.1mm lead.  The crown wil lalso pull off and allow several spare leads to be stored in the barrel beneath.  Although there are no spares in there now, I have installed a fresh lead into the mechanism so the pencil is all ready to go. The pocket clip has a spoon-shaped end, and is held on by two tiny rivets.  It too is nickel plated, as is the large cone.

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.
