Staedtler Polo 0.5 776

Here is a beautiful specimen of a mechanical pencil circa, approximately, 1987-88. I am thinking it used to be much more of a "Staedtler Blue" but it seems to have faded with excessive ultraviolet radiation. Nevertheless, I just found it in my collection of pens and pencils and it was too retro and awesome not to spread to the world. Lead is held very securely. It is light, yet very durable and comfortable. Basic features including:

Shirt Clip
Sturdy Eraser Cap
Rigid Guide Tube
Perforated Grip Zone
Excellent Writing Control

10 / 10
