Mechanical Pencil - Steel

Mechanical Pencil - Brass

I’m older in life now (50) and I think more and more about what I will leave behind. What objects my kids will hold onto, what memories they will have. The Wingback is something that I think about in this context. I think about my son writing with it when I have passed on, seeing my name on the pen, and the patina that is uniquely mine. I own many high priced mechanical pencils and the Wingback writes as well as the others. But you don’t buy a pencil just to write with it. The pencil stays with you as the story of your life is written.

I’m just wild about my racing green mechanical pencil. I’m about to order another one as I
need a back up lest I lose my bestest ever pencil. Should it be possible I’d love to get one
with a clip as I’m a shirt pocket carrier. This purchase if one is available will be with the world map inscription.

The only drawback is that not everyone can handle such a heavy mechanical pencil. You need to understand your own adaptability before buying. So I'm considering buying another one of the same model.
