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!
