The gold filled nose cone trim is in beautiful, highly polished condition with no wearing of the gold filled material. There are no monograms or personalizations to the pencil. Both pencil barrels are stamped with, "SHEAFFER'S MADE IN U.S.A. PAT. 80,362" This Sheaffer Pencil measures 5 3/8" in length.

Twist the nose cone and the lead will propel from the nose cone and turning the opposite way will retract the lead back inside. The erasers has some use but intact and complete.

There is a red band on one side of the pencil and no band on the other side of the pencil.
