CO031: Conklin Endura Pencil

Date: c1930s

Size: Length - 4 3/8 inches

A rather pretty little Conklin pencil in the restrained but very attractive bronze and black marbled celluloid. It is in excellent condition, with no damage on it at all that I can see.  The top of the pencol pulls off and below is a space in the barrel in which you can store some 1.1mm spare leads.  Although there are no spare leads there at present, I hve fitted a fresh 1.1m lead into the mechanism so it is all ready to go.  The top has a gold filled band at the bottom and the top of the barrel has a matching gold filed band with a good crisp imprint directly below.  The cone is also gold filled.  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.
