Slightly Off Topic - Ford Mechanical Pencil

I have this "property of ford motor company" mechanical pencil.
Any one know anything about these? It has a serial # even! Its all aluminum also.

 

Nice, probably something that was intended to be used by certain people who worked for Ford at one time.

 

A guess, but most likely a drafting pencil.

 

Bump for the evening crew... Drafting pencil most likely.

 

Awesome is what that is!

 

Looks like it may have been made by the Eagle Pencil Co.I have several that are very similar to that without the logo. Looks like it may take 1.2mm lead which I believe is still available.Probably dates to the late 1930's or early 40's. Pretty fancy too.

 

I will tell you the brand when I go back to work. I dont think its eagle but I'll check

 

It is a Redipoint Ingersoll brand

 

What you have there is something really cool.

 

Henry is probably looking for that. You had better take it back. I live near the Glass House. Mail it to me and I will return it for you.

 

What an awesome piece, where did you get it?

 

Other Ford mechanical pecil parts probably won't interchange.

 

Haven't heard of that one before.If you need lead for it,I believe Staples has that size in stock and if not they can order it.
