This attractive green pencil was made as a complement to the Parker 45 fountain pen range. It measures 5.02" (127mm). It is finished in green with gold plated trim, with the characteristic Parker arrow clip. A clear imprint around the 'cap' reads simply "PARKER"   The 0.5mm lead is advanced by twisting the two halves in opposite directions. Pulling the two halves apart reveals what is probably the original rubber eraser - now somewhat perished - which when itself is remove, reveals a chamber for spare leads, 3 or 4 of which are included.

This is a smart green example trimmed with gold colour. The clip shows no brassing and is stamped "SHEAFFERS".  The barrel carries the imprint "W. A. SHEAFFER PEN CO   FORT MADISON, IOWA, U.S.A.  MADE IN U.S.A.". The patent number is too shallow to be legible. The lead is advanced by twisting the two halves of the pencil.  It is in good condition, with no significant marks. It uses 0.9mm leads, available from all good stationers. Unfortunately the eraser is missing. and we have no fitting spares at the moment.
