Lighter Pencil Week Part 2: The Penciliter (first generation)

It seems a little ironic that Ronson, after first introducing the streamlined Lite-O-Rite, would take what appeared to be a giant step backwards with the gawky Penciliter, introduced around 1934.

If you are familiar with the Ronson Penciliter, you are probably thinking to yourself, "Gawky?  What's he talking about?  The only thing more streamlined than a Penciliter is maybe a Skyline pen."

Ah, you are thinking of the second generation of Penciliters.  The first generation was definitely not as graceful as anything that came either before it or after it . . .
