KOH-I-NOOR Adapto Red & Blue 5611 Drafting Pencil Italy Vintage 1978 plus lead For Sale

This is a vintage 2.0mm lead holder and drafting clutch pencil made in Italy. I purchased and used it in early 1980. It is constructed from durable metal and plastic/composite components and has such incredible balance that using it is just a delight. I\'m including the last of my H lead in tube for you also.The hexagon shape is comfortable to hold for longer use. It has a classic clutch mechanism that securely holds and smoothly advances the lead. Pushing the top cap opens the internal jaws so you can easily adjust or release the lead length. Holds thick 2.0mm graphite leads designed for precise drafting and sketching.The long, gnarled nose has a clean sure metal grip. Body is stamped with Italy andPencil without any lead weighs: 13 grams 0.46 ounces\"The Italian-marked Adapto 5611 model is sought after by vintage stationery collectors today for its durable composite construction and distinct nostalgic aesthetic.The Koh-i-Noor Adapto 5611 mechanical pencils produced during the 1970s were manufactured in Binasco (located in the Metropolitan City of Milan), Italy. While the historic parent company Koh-i-Noor Hardtmuth is famously based in the Czech Republic, they established their major Italian production factory and business branch in Binasco, which handled the manufacturing of these iconic red-barreled drafting pencils exported worldwide during that era.\"
