Filling Mechanism: Pencil

Pelikan Souverän D600 pencils bring class, luxury and sophistication to the world of graphite. Our gently used model is complete with its original box and leather pouch. You'll see some light wear from use, but it isn't anything anybody would notice while you are using it. Loaded with .5mm leads, you advance them with a simple side-twist of the green-striped tail cap. The logo on the tail cap's top is an etched mama pelican with two chicks that is filled with white paint. 12.8cm.

The granddaddy of all pencils is here: Sheaffer Titan. This is what we like to call the lemon-lime jade version, as it features bright yellow swirls and flecks in the bright jade green celluloid. Our vintage pencil is in good working order. Twist the gold-filled crown on top to advance or retract the lead. As is the case with most of these, the crown is a bit dented around its edges. There's brassing on the ball and top of the pocket clip. Overall, the pencil looks great. No cracks or deep scratches. It fills with 1.1mm lead. There's a hardened eraser plugging up the space where we can hear spare leads rattling around. 13.2cm.

Click-advance lead systems were brand new when Eversharp released its Eversharp 176-PB pencil. It might also be considered an Eversharp Skyline pencil. This vintage pencil is new-old-stock. You can see its original price tag/sticker ring in the photo. There is a little ink staining on the ring, but you can read most of the ring, including its 1940s' price of $3.75. We like that it is blue and that you can see how they used a different plastic for the nose cone. No brassing mars the gold-plated trim, but you can see plenty of wear marks on the pencil. Remove the tail clicker to find a hardened eraser and spare 1,1mm leads. 11.6cm.

Tortoise shell pens are among the most sought in the Pelikan line, and here we have an even rarer .5mm pencil. It is a clicker in good working order. Pull off the clicker to reveal spare leads and a hardened eraser. Our pencil shows some wear from use but no cracks or deep scratches. The clicker logo plating is a little thin, showing a mama pelican with a single chick. 13.6cm

Bronze and black flecks glitter in the light of this Conklin Endura pencil. In great working order, you'll smoothly advance and retract the 1.1 lead with a twist of the tail piece. You can still see yellow accent paint in the rings around the celluloid. The imprint is still legible. There isn't much brassing. However, there are scratches on the nose cone and bite marks on the tail. Spare leads are under the tail cap. 12.2cm.

Mottled hard rubber looks fantastic with gold-filled trim on this vintage pencil. This pencil looks fantastic. The steel nose cone has the only wear that is really showing. Twist the top of the pencil to advance the lead. Pull back on the topper to expose a compartment to store spare 1.1mm leads. There is a lead loaded in the pencil but there are no spares. 13.5cm

Solid 14k gold wraps a wide band around the tail cap of this Sheaffer Autograph pencil! These ostentatious vintage pencils are rare to find without an actual autograph etched into the gold. You'll find a little wear on the pencil but not much. Its .9mm lead extends and retracts with a twist of the tail cap. Under the tail cap is a working white eraser and a spare lead. 12.8cm.

Matching its pencil lines to its TouchDown-filling fountain pens, this vintage pencil was released as the Sheaffer Sentinel pencil. A two-tone chrome and gold cap contrasts beautifully against a dark green barrel. Minimal wear mars the surfaces of this classic pencil. A twist of the tail cap smoothly advances and retracts the .9mm lead. Cooler still is that this pencil is loaded with a red lead! Remove the cap to reveal a hardened original blue Sheaffer eraser. 12.9cm.
