D. All Of The Above

I ran an article a few months ago about a “tree trunk” Eversharp, which at first blush looks to be a match for the Waterman “tree trunk” pens.  But when I disassembled it, it turned out to be an ordinary Eversharp pencil with a custom made tree trunk cap:


Yeah . . . “ordinary.”  Like I wouldn’t trade a couple kidneys for it.

    A variation of never say never. So, were the clipless ones used as desk pencils? Or. . .?

    I don't think they were desk pencils without a streamlined top. What they were used for, other than writing, I don't know.

    Perhaps some pencils were too long to fit into a pocket and clip to it, so they didn't bother with a clip.
