SH1282: Sheaffer Balanced No. 350 Pencil.

Date: c1938

Size: Length - 4 13/16 inches.

A very attractive glossy roseglow striated Radite Balance pencil with gold filled trim.  This is the beautiful pinkish red and grey striated material.  I can actually see no damage at all on this item.  The lovely streamlined shape is the hallmark of these Balance pencils.  The cap has the "Radius" type Sheaffer's pocket clip  with a single cap band.  The barrel imprint, around the rear of the cap just above the cap band shows very little wear and is still deep and easily made out.  This is a propel-repel pencil that you work by twisting the cap.  You can pull the cap off and beneath is a partly used pink eraser.  There are several spare 0.9mm leads below the eraser, and I have fitted a fresh one into the mechanism so it is all ready to go.

I have fully serviced this pencil.  The lead extends and retracts smoothly.
