Actual shipping costs: I am using the Shipping Tools, so I do not profit from shipping.I will accept any offer I find reasonable.Vintage PILOT Sales Sample Mechanical Pencil #78110, 0.5mm IH101 SHAKER SeriesThis mechanical pencil came from the stock of the late Robert (Bob) D. Amo, which I acquired from a NY reseller. Bob Amo used to be an FBI special agent between 1951 and 1957 and worked as a sales manager (district manager) for the Autopoint Company between 1967 and 1972, in which he also advertised for many products from Dur-O-Lite, Zippo, Parker, Sheaffer, and others.Condition: Unknown condition. Selling as found, as is, with potential for many defects. My quick diagnostic found the pencil to mechanically works, and feeds lead automatically, but cannot guarantee if the pencil works as it supposed to be.The metal insert shown in the photos suggest that this pencil is an early sample for the Shaker pencils from Pilot. Also, the word \"Shaker\" in not printed or imprinted anywhere on the pencil. Furthermore, the Model Number (IH101) is uncommon with this model, which suggests that the model number has changed in later years (i.e., to H1010). It is also potential that the IH101 refers to the model number when the pencil is ordered with advertising prints on the barrel. This last possibility is the more likely one because the \"Adsources\" website designated model No. \"IH101\" for mechanical pencils with customized prints; but the specification associated with another model (i.e., the G2 Series).Selling Terms:
- As-is.
- As photographed.
- For-parts only.
- For collecting purposes only and not guaranteed to be usable, cleanable, or fixable (if broken).
- Pricing is relative to the rarity of the pencils, not their conditions.
