The clip is marked “Worth,” with a W circled by a wreath above the name:
I’m not prepared to say that this is the same Worth, but I do think this one also has it’s origins in New York. Unlike the one shown in my earlier Worth article, I don’t believe Conklin had anything at all to do with this one. If this one bears similarity to anything, it’s to some pencils marked Morrison and Eclipse.
And also to these
These two, marked “Premo” and “Deluxe,” were introduced here five years ago (see http://leadheadpencils.blogspot.com/2012/08/keeping-it-light.html) and, with the exception of a slightly different clip, they are the same as this “Worth,” pattern and all.
I’m noticing a pattern of names associated with value here . . . worth, premo, deluxe.
