VTG 1930's FOOTE OIL Co Nebraska Kansas Elreco Prod. Celluloid Mechanical Pencil
Advertising reads; Foote Oil Company Chester, Neb. - Plamore, Kans. Elreco Products
My research leads me to believe this pencil may be pre-1924 (Elreco was legally forced to change their name due to trademark in 1924 to Eldred Oil), or this was a sample pencil from the early/min 30's, with a fictitious company and city (I can find no evidence of a town Plamore Kansas ever having existed).
Pencil works, and does have some lead in it.
White Celluloid with black printing - gold tone clip and trim
Barrel, Clip and Cap are unmarked (based on extensive catalog research, this appears to be an RL Arnold, but see photos and decide for yourself)
One of many from a Pre-1940 mechanical pencil collection, see last photo showing the display this pencil has been housed on since approximately 1940 (display and pencils on display are not included in sale).
See my other listings for more vintage mechanical pencils from this collection.
