WE555 Eversharp Gold Filled Pencil.

WE555 Eversharp Gold Filled Pencil.

Date: c1930s

Size: Length - 134mm

A rather attractive full-sized Eversharp gold filled pencil in very good condition.  This pencil does not appear to have any plating wear but it does have the usual fine scratches in the surface that these pencils always seem to pick up with any amount of use.  However, the pencil still has a very good bright appearance.  On the top surface of the crown are engraved initials - these are hand engraved in a very ornate script - I think they may be "DH" or possibly "DK"?  The barrel is decorated with machine engraving in the Chevron design.  There is a black indexon the barrel.  The crown is twisted to extend the 1.18mm lead - it is a propel-only pencil.  There is a clear imprint at the top of the barrel.  This pencil is fitted with a spade-ended pocket clip. 

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It is a propel-only pencil and I have fitted a fresh 1.18mm lead into the mechanism.   It works perfectly.
