Lovejoy's Requiem
At the Scott Antique Market last month, I was browsing around a table when I found this in a box with a sign that read "$1 each". It was a pretty slow show, and this was about the only dollar I spent during that visit, but it was a pretty good one. This is a Dur-O-Lite, and one of the neat things about it is the advertising on the side . . .

Hi, so what year do you think that pencil (the dur-o-lite with the advertising) was made? I just got one myself with the box and instructions. Any idea what size lead they take?
