1.5mm VS pencil lead for Victorian mechanical pencils (propelling pencils)

Description

1.5 mm VS lead for
Victorian mechanical pencils
VS (1.5 mm) was one of the most commonly-used pencil lead sizes for 19th-century propelling pencils, but is now almost completely unfindable. This listing is for a 4 inch (10.2 cm) length of lead, which will be shipped in two pieces to fit inside our storage tubes.
NOTE: We are not selling Victorian pencil nozzles -- the photo at top is a detail of the sort of pencil that uses the lead we are selling.
Payment
We are glad to combine shipping charges on multiple purchases, but it is vital that the proper checkout method be used. When buying more than one item, use the Add to Cart button -- NOT the Buy It Now button. View your cart when you are ready to complete the purchase, and if the total shipping charge is incorrect, do NOT pay. Instead, click the Request Total link at the top right and we will send you a corrected invoice.
Terms of Sale
We strongly believe in full and explicit description of any condition problems or flaws, and in very conservative grading. We stand behind our descriptions -- buy with confidence.
