Description from Nathaniel

Some engravings are so adorable we hate to sell them. Such is the case with our Parker Buster Browns pencil. Buster Browns were kids shoes in yesteryear. As such, this pencil must have belonged to a shoe shop or a shop's top salesman or woman. We think the pencil is formally know as a Parker Duette Jr. Some people call them Parker Thrifttime or Thrift Time pencils. Twist the nose cone to advance or retract its 1.1mm lead. It works well. No cracks or bad scars. Just light wear and some brassing. Under the tail cap is the original spare lead and eraser cartridge with a hardened eraser and one spare lead left. Our Parker Buster Browns measures 11.7cm.
