Vintage E. ROLAND “Fall-stop1.8-2.2” Drafting and Drawing Mechanical Pencil.  Made in East Germany during the 1960’s, this very nice looking pencil is a spring activated clutch leadholder for 1.8 to 2.2 mm leads. However, it has a slight “twist”: there is a proprietary friction mechanism in the barrel that prevents the lead from dropping out of the barrel (“fall-stop”…) when pointed down. Very interesting……  Lightly used with no initials, gouges or similar.  This classy pencil features a beautiful wood barrel, very strong imprint (not too common), shiny chrome nose, plated brass clutch, and a plastic pushbutton with a built-in pointer. In a very nice detail, the barrel’s facets blend very nicely into the facets of the nose piece. Measuring 5 5/8” in length, it’s not often found in this great condition, so get this very versatile and unusual beauty while you can……

NOTE : Sold “as is”…please ask questions prior to bidding….Thanks!!!
