Brand New – ORIGINAL
MODEL Alvin Draft-Matic Mechanical Pencil in its original factory sleeve.
This listing is for the genuine ORIGINAL MODEL Alvin Draft-Matic
mechanical pencil.
Alvin discontinued production of its legendary Original
Draft-Matic pencil several years ago
due to consolidations in the company’s product line in an ever increasing
cost-conscious environment. The original
Draft-Matic was a superior design to its current replacement and an expensive
pencil to produce.
An outside company subsequently purchased the
name, and began producing a new version in a different, revised “cost-cut” edition. The new version is a redesign of the original
and implements measures which enabled the company to bring the pencil in at a
lower price point.
The Original Model, considered by many to be one of the best mechanical pencils
ever produced, can easily be identified
by the extra knurling at the top of the pencil surrounding the lead
identification window. It features a
superior clutch mechanism, longer nose (for better visibility), better
materials, and superior mechanical reliability and operation.
One of the finest and best designed precision
mechanical pencils ever produced, the superbly balanced and engineered ORIGINAL
Alvin Draft-Matic is one of the most sought-after mechanical pencils in the
world, used by the most discriminating connoisseurs and draftsmen.
These are completely brand new, unused stock. They come pre-loaded with HB Lead from the factory, ready to use.
LIMITED QUANTITY AVAILABLE – this original model is no longer in
production.
NOTE: Each quantity of "1" is for ONE
pencil only. Multiple purchases receive combined shipping.
Thank you for looking!
