The Neatest Lighter Pencil I Never Heard Of
A few weeks ago, I was trolling about online and stumbled across a pencil I hadn't heard of before. The clip reads "Lektrolite," and the color is really superb . . .
NOTE: This article is now included in the print version of The Leadhead's Pencil Blog, available anywhere you buy books, or also from The Legendary Lead Company.
This is funny: "CHROME TOP OPENS TO LEAD HOLDING CACHE WITH A FELT LINED INSERT PIECE, I'M GUESSING TO KEEP THE LEADS FROM BRAKING." http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-30s-40s-lektrolite-pencil-not-bakelite
Don't worry about flame, is flameless, but don't try to light it sucking yourself or you will provably inhalate methanol, better use some pump.

Yours look unused. I guess that by now you know how to light it, but in case, you have to take off the rubber covering the platinum mesh.
Hey there, thanks for the post. I wouldn't want to light it (too much flammable celluloid around), but I appreciate the tip!
