Condition:
This Parker Duofold Geometric, affectionately known as the “Toothbrush” mechanical pencil, boasts a 1939 barrel date and features a striking green and black color combination with the iconic "toothbrush" pattern. It is accented with a black jewel and gold-filled cap band, clip, and cone. Measuring 4 3/4" in length, this pencil is free from cracks, and the barrel imprint is crisp with clear lettering and date code. The lead advances and retracts via the twist mechanism, and it includes an internal Parker lead holder with an eraser (though the original eraser is best left as a collector’s piece). There are no personalizations, and the pencil presents in lovely cosmetic condition. This design is a testament to Parker’s perfect blend of style and function, mixing stylish geometric aesthetics with a practical twist-to-advance lead holder. If pencils had a galaxy, this one would be spinning in orbit around the planet of precision, showing off its geometric charm with every turn.
