It seems many of us had several of these popular pencils for school or at home or even at work. They are remembered as far back as the 40's and 50's. They may still be lurking in the recesses of a desk or a forgotten cigar box. The reason may be that leads and erasers are not easily found any more and so they're no longer used. The 1.1mm (0.046") leads almost never break and last for a long time. They are more than twice as thick as the more popular 0.5mm size and contain almost 5 times the volume of lead. This lead size is really great, but it's becoming very hard to find. Here is a chance to not only bring your pencils back to life but also to acquire more of these older pencils.
I specialize in the stronger .046 (1.1 mm) leads..046 actually calculates out to be 1.168 mm but is referred to as 1.1 mm. I also have smaller sizes available as well. You can also visit my Scripto History Page that displays older pencils, pencil parts and information about pencil leads. Today, although Scripto continues to market other items, all pencils and pencil products have been discontinued. Email to rogerr4@earthlink.net for ordering information. First class shipping is in a padded envelope for only $3.00 and for any quantity. Orders can be combined. When convenient, you can print out an Order Form to mail along with payment.

New Classic Scripto K21 Pencil Combos For Sale
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The K21 is an improved Scripto design and has a translucent barrel. It still uses the same erasers and 1.1 mm leads as the Scripto Classic twist type. This is a push type of pencil instead of a twist action. You can easily push on the eraser with the thumb of your writing hand and the lead advances about 1/32" each time. The clutch is a single 3-prong piece made of solid brass and offers a firm grip on the lead. The plastic material of the barrel and some internal pieces is not brittle compared to the older K780 and is not prone to cracking.
Up to six extra leads can be stored inside the pencil. Each lead can be advanced automatically simply by pushing a couple of times on the eraser. The pencils are 5-3/4 long and weigh 3/10 of an ounce. This new package contains one K21 pencil and a tube of six 4" HB polymer leads. There is also a spare lead in the pencil barrel. Barrel color is available in translucent violet, blue or red. Available for $10.00 each.
The K21 pencil comes with a spare lead inside. After the first lead is used, just point the pencil down and make several clicks by pushing the eraser. The short remainder of the old lead will fall out, if it has not already, and the spare lead will then appear at the point. After the spare is used, you can add up to 4 extra leads by removing the eraser and placing them in the back. Replace the eraser and proceed to advance the new lead as before.
This pencil is very similar to the K780 twist type pencil. It has MEX stamped in very small letters at the top of the clip. It also has Mexico stamped in small letters on the barrel next to the clip. The pencil is 5-1/2" long and the solid red barrel is round with a diameter of 5/16. The lead is also red. This is a collector item in unused condition. Available for $24.00

Substitute erasers but without a clip. More information.
Skilcraft U.S. Government Electrographic
This older, black 1.1mm pencil is similar to the Scripto K780 twist type but not identical. It is actually made by Autopoint for Skilcraft and is very much like the Autopoint #600-1 All-American pencil shown in the next section.
In fact, USA appears at the bottom of the clip. The pencil is 5-5/8 long. It has eight flat sides except for the last 1-5/16 near the tip and that is round tapering down from 1-5/16 in diameter. It weighs 10 grams or about .35 ounces. Like other Autopoint pencils, it takes 1-3/8 long leads. The pencil comes with a special electrographic marking lead that is extra dark. These 1.1mm leads are also known as Mark Sense CX-22. Extra CX-22 and other leads are for sale further down on this page. New erasers are also available. The eraser can be pulled off to access storage for extra leads. See loading instructions for Autopoint pencils below. This pencil is used in good condition. Available for $16.00 each.

Older Scripto twist pencil loading instructions Hold the barrel of the pencil in one hand and twist the eraser holder clockwise with the other. Continue until the shuttle is all the way forward and the old lead, if any, is pushed out. Then return the shuttle as far back as it will go by turning the eraser holder counter clockwise. Insert the new lead at the pencil tip and then advance it until about 1/8 of the lead sticks out. Press the lead against a hard surface and the lead should move in about 1/16. It is then locked in place and you are ready to write. Skilcraft Double Enders for Sale

Polymer leads have become very popular in the past few years. They are different because they contain a plastic compound instead of clay. According to Pentel, The composition if Hi-Polymer lead is synthetic resin and graphite which is said give a very strong and flexible lead. Conventional clay-bonded leads tend to be too brittle when reduced to the diameter required for fine lead pencils. Despite this breakthrough in lead design, I find that the thinner polymer leads break far too easily compared to thicker leads, polymer or clay. It seems I am not the only person who has experienced this frustrating lesson.
