WA732 Waterman Facette Pencil, boxed

Date: c1960s

Size: Length - 133mm.

This is a Waterman Facette model pencil.  The Facette was only made for a couple of years in the late-1960s, so this is quite an unusual find. This is a really lovely mirror polished chrome finish pencil with a faceted design that runs the entire length of the barrel and cap.It is still in near pristine condition and I would be surprised if it has been used more than once or twice.  Around the cap lip is the imprint.  The cap pulls off and below is an unused pink eraser.  Below this are some spare 0.9mm leads.  This is a twist operated extend/retract pencil.  The pencil is housed in a lovely brown fabric pouch and lies inside its original plastic box.  The lining has come away from the base, but it, too, is otherwise in lovely condition.  

I have fully serviced this pencil.  It works perfectly.
