Semi-Hex 498 No.2

Brand: General Pencil Co.

Made in: USA

Nice variety of the Semi-Hex 498. The top WWII-era purple plastic ferrule is quite rare as far as WWII pencils are concerned.  NOTE: the single pencil is available for purchase here.  Judging from the silver print, I am placing this pencil before WWII.  The only other silver print Semi-Hex I have is the oldest long ferrule, so I think this pencil is 1930's. It's a beaut!  The box belongs to the silver print model but not for sale.
