A couple weeks ago, Janet and I decided to stop by the Springfield Antique Show at at the Clark County Fairgrounds. The cold, drizzly weather had most of the outdoor vendors covering up their wares with tarps, so we spent most of our time browsing around inside. I didn’t find much indoors, but by the time we started wandering back to the parking lot to leave, the weather had eased a bit and a few brave dealers had uncovered their tables – including the one who had this on his table:
What makes this one is the exposed eraser. Although the usual solid-color Sheaffer utility pencils always have them, they are quite a rarity on the Balance line . . .

ReplyDeleteIt took a sharp eye to catch that one as the eraser is worn almost flat1 also in my experience in collecting Sheaffer Tucaways, the gray striped pearl is a hard color to find. Good wrok!
In the Sheaffer Triumph Sentinel Deluxe, the gray striped pearl also seems to be the most difficult color to find (it was available in green striped, gray striped and black versions).
