A metal mechanical pencil from the Japanese brand **CENTER**. This elegant design, featuring a gold base with black stripes, was a popular model from the 1970s to the 90s. The grip has a knurled finish for easy handling, and it's characterized by a weighty writing feel. While there are minor scratches overall from use, the clicking mechanism and other functions are in good working order. There is no eraser. This is a recommended piece for vintage writing instrument collections or for practical use. Discontinued product, out-of-production item, vintage, retro, rare.
