This One Doesn't Quite Fit In

I spotted this one in an online auction recently and had to bring it home, since it's different from any other Moore I've run across.   The color isn't like any other Moore I've seen, and the flattop design in combination with a press clip is very unusual.  I'd date this one to the mid-1930s and it strongly resembles some Belmont models sold in Rexall stores (Moore, among other manufacturers, had a contract to supply pencils under the Belmont name) . . .
