Displaying an appealing retro flair, these classic mechanical pencils are produced by Autopoint, which was founded in Chicago in 1913. Now produced in Wisconsin, they are an excellent everyday mechanical pencil for both professional and personal use. The mechanical pencils feature a paneled plastic barrel that is comfortable in the hand, and a patented Grip-Tite point that prevents wobble and lessens tip breakage. Refillable 0.9 mm lead.
