Classic mid-century Autopoint mechanical pencil with the crisp black hex barrel and nickel-plated trim. The clip is stamped Autopoint PAT’D MADE IN U.S.A. and the knurled crown carries the original rubber eraser—now worn at the top from use. Untested.

• Likely 1.1 mm lead size; twist the knurled crown to advance lead (mechanism untested)

• Top piece is the rubber eraser seated in a metal ferrule; remove the eraser plug to access the lead reservoir

• Early plastic (cellulose acetate) barrel with nickel-plated hardware

• Estimated era: late 1940s–1950s, Made in U.S.A.

• Condition: honest vintage wear—surface scuffs, trim toning, and a worn eraser; please view all photos for details

A straightforward U.S.-made Autopoint—nice for a collection, everyday carry after a refresh, or a sympathetic restoration.
