Vintage
K & E
/ TRU POINT Mechanical Drafting Pencil. NOS
“Automatic” K+E model 58-0303 made in the heartland of the
USA in Michigan circa 1967. This pencil for 2 mm lead is all metal and operates
via a fairly unusual combination of push button repeater activation and a four
part brass clutch mechanism at the nose, much like a more typical drafting
leadholder. In any case, it is quite
convenient since the lead does not fall out of the barrel when the button is
engaged to advance the lead and you don’t have to hold it nose down to advance
the lead. Nicely shaped barrel has
machined grooves near the nose for a good grip and is quite comfortable to
hold. NOS pocket
clip is for use as you see fit. This rare version of the K+E
model will make a great addition to your collection…especially in its NOS
condition…
NOTE : Sold “as is”…please ask questions prior to bidding….Thanks!!!
