CS1116 Conway Stewart No. 25 Pencil

Date: c1950s

Size: Length: 112mm.

A very nice little No. 25 pencil.  It is a very pretty example in green and brown casein with black veining.  These pencils were sold on their own or paired with the No. 550 Dinkie fountain pen.  It is in excellent condition - in fact, I really can't see anything at all wrong with this pencil.  There are no scratches or other damage to cap or barrel, and all the trim is bright and shiny with no brassing apparent.  The top of the cap has a conical ended button that holds on the gold plated Conway Stewart pocket clip.  This has the "CS" logo within a diamond at the top and another diamond shape at the bottom.  There is a single gold plated band around the cap lip.  The cap pulls off and beneath the original eraser has hardened over the years but appears to have hardly seen any use. On the side of the cap is a clear and deep imprint.  This is a propel-repel pencil that works by twisting the cap.  I have installed a fresh 1.18mm lead into the mechanism so it is all ready to go.

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It has been fitted with a fresh lead.  All the internal mechanism is in excellent condition and the pencil works well.

An very nice little pencil.
