CS1166 Conway Stewart No. 18 Pencil.

Date: c1950s

Size: Length: 130mm.

This full-sized Conway Stewart pencil is in very good condition.  The only damage I can see on it is some plating wear to the pocket clip, and loss of the black enamel on the aluminium top "jewel".  The cap and barrel are both glossy with no noticeable scratches.   There is a beautifully crisp and clear imprint on the side of the cap, two gold-filled bands - one at the cap lip and the other on the barrel below.  The cap pulls off to reveal the broken off stump of the original pink eraser.  This is a propel-repel pencil and works by twisting the cap. The colourway on this pencil is a rather lovely blue marbled pattern.  

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It has been fitted with a fresh 1.18mm lead and works perfectly.

An unusual Conway pencil in a hard to find colour.
