[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 11299903, member: 360"]Thanks! It's a variety known as a propelling pencil. What the others have said is, regrettably, correct. The vast majority of these pencils don't use the same type (size) of graphite that's available today. I have a friend who collects pencils like these. One way to do it is to buy thicker graphite, sand it down and then shove it in, but it's not very precise.[/QUOTE]
