Description from the seller
This Caran d’Ache Ecridor mechanical pencil is presented in very good condition, standing out for the balance between its classic elegance and the characteristic solidity of the Swiss brand. The body, made of metal with a matte silver finish, maintains its stylized cylindrical shape without dents or deformations, offering a firm and pleasant feel.
