PORSCHE DESIGN NOS P'3110 TEC-FLEX MECHANICAL PENCIL IN STAINLESS STEEL & GOLD.

Description: AHERE I AM OFFERING ONE (1) OF MY NEW AND UNUSED TEC-FLEX MECHANICAL PENCIL FEATURING A STAINLESS STEEL AND GOLD PLATED WOVEN METAL CASING/BARREL. THIS IS KNOWN AS THE P'3110 SERIES OF WRITING INSTRUMENTS FROM FABER-CASTELL, THE ORIGINAL TEC-FLEX PEN MANUFACTURE FOR "PORSCHE DESIGN" (HENCE THE NOS NEW OLD STOCK HALLMARK). PELICAN PEN, ANOTHER GERMAN PEN MANUFACTURE, WON THE CONTRACT A FEW YEARS AGO AND HAS BEEN MAKING THESE AND MOST OF THE OTHER HIGH-END "PORSCHE DESIGN" WRITING INSTRUMENTS SINCE. THE MATERIAL TEC-FLEX WAS ORIGINALLY DESIGNED FOR THEIR RACING ENDEAVORS AS THEY NEEDED A FLEXIBLE MATERIAL WHICH COULD WITHSTAND HEAT, CHEMICALS AND FRICTION. IT IS STILL USED TODAY AND IS BASICALLY A SHEATH OR WRAP TO PROTECT WIRES, TUBES AND HOSES UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS. TRADITIONALLY IT IS MADE OF PURE STAINLESS STEEL, BUT THE DESIGN EXPERTS OF "PORSCHE DESIGN" TOOK IT A STEP FURTHER. WITH THE EXAMPLE HERE, THEY ADDED A 24 KT GOLD PLATED STRAND INTO THE BLEND AND USED IT TO COVER THE BARREL OF A WRITING INSTRUMENT, SPECIFICALLY, A MECHANICAL PENCIL. THE FACT THAT THIS TEC-FLEX MATERIAL FLEXES IS WHAT MAKES IT NOT JUST UNIQUE, BUT, FUNCTIONAL! AS YOU HOLD THE BARREL AND DEPRESS THE TOP OF IT ...MULTIPLE TIMES, THE LEAD GROWS OUT OF IT'S WRITING TIP AS THIS TEC-FLEX MATERIAL STRETCHES TO ALLOW THIS ACTION. WHEN YOU DEPRESS THE BARREL AND HOLD IT DOWN, THIS ALLOWS YOU TO RETRACT THE LEAD BY GENTLY PUSHING IT BACK INTO THE BARREL. A COUPLE OF OTHER CLEVER FEATURES OF THIS PENCIL IS THAT IT HAS A SCREW IN TIP WHICH CONCEALS IT'S ERASER AND THE POCKET CLIP IS SPRING LOADED SO IT HANGS ONTO WHAT IT IS AFFIXED TO. BOTH TIPS OF THIS PENCIL IS PLATED WITH PALLADIUM, WHICH MANY CLAIM THAT THIS MATERIAL S ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT MATERIALS TO WORK WITH. BUT WHEN PROPERLY APPLIED, IT HAS ON OF THE NICEST FINISHES ON THE MARKET. I HAVE OWNED THIS PENCIL AND THREE (3) OTHERS FOR CLOSE TO A DECADE NOW AND ORIGINALLY, I PLANNED ON MATCHING THIS PENCIL WITH A PEN AND OFFER THIS AS A SET..... AS I HAVE DONE WITH A FEW OTHER WRITING INSTRUMENTS FROM "PORSCHE DESIGN". BUT, HAVING PLACED THESE PENCILS IN ONE OF MY MANY "WEIRD SHHT DRAWERS" I JUST RECENTLY REDISCOVERED THESE AND THOUGHT I'D LIST THESE ALONE .... AS PENCILS! ALL THREE (3) PENCILS LISTED HERE ARE IDENTICAL AND WERE ALL PURCHASED AT THE NOW CLOSED THE BOSTON PORSCHE DESIGN STORE, ONCE LOCATED IN COPLEY PLAZA, MA. THIS LISTING IS FOR A SINGLE PENCIL, UNLESS YOU SELECT MORE THEN ONE (1). THIS P'3110 MECHANICAL PENCIL WILL BE SHIPPED TO YOU VIA THE USPS IN A FLAT RATE PADDED ENVELOPE. THE POSTAGE WILL BE PURCHASED VIA EBAY SO IT'S TRACKING NUMBER WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY PLACED INTO YOUR EBAY SALES RECORD. ALL OF MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS WILL BE PLACED INTO EBAY'S NEWLY REVAMPED INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING PROGRAM.
