stamped imprint reads: “PENTEL Sharp 9 (0.9 mm) PS-100 Japan”

Pentel Sharp 9 PS-100

Pentel, Japan

lead diameter(s) mechanism composition variations production date origin	0.9 mm pushbutton incremental advance clutch plastic barrel, metal mechanism barrel color: brown, blue, ? (early 1970s) Japan

Technically, this model is not a drafting pencil (it has no lead sleeve) and was probably not marketed as such although the long barrel is unusual for a non-drafting model. Could this be Pentel’s first mechanical pencil? Does any one know? Contact me if you have a theory.

The imprint is molded into the barrel on this version. This type probably slightly later than the stamped imprint type.
