It’s a nice but cheaply made "Peerless." I liked the color, and the clip was very prominent, too:
I tucked the Peerless away in my folder, but that "A.N.C." over the clip nagged at me. I’d seen it on several different pencils, but I’d never been able to draw a connection between most of them . . . although most looked as if they had been made by David Kahn, Inc. (makers of the Wearever, among other brands). One day, I resolved, I was going to figure out what that "A.N.C." stood for and write an article here about it.
I didn’t think I’d circle back around to this one so quickly!
