    Description

    PHILLIPS 66 - LONG OIL COMPANY - Valley Falls, Kansas 1950s
    OIL CAN TOP MECHANICAL PENCIL. 5 1/2" long. The pencil top reproduces the likeness of a Phillips 66 Premium Motor Oil one quart can. Odd(to me) because the "Premium" brand wasn't the Phillips Company's premium brand; that was "Trop-Arctic" Motor Oil! Phillips 66 Shield on pencil barrel above: "Long Oil Company / Curtis Ramsey - Tank Wagon Sales / Valley Falls, Kansas / 76 Phones 192".  See Photo #5  - a rare example of an "open" printed mark by the manufacturer: "RITEPOINT / St. Louis, MO. / MADE IN U.S.A."
    "The Ritepoint Pen Company produced ballpoint pens, coasters, cigarette lighters and a few other items in the 1950s-1970s. They were based in St. Louis, MO."
    I do not (unless I specify that I have) clean collectibles; that will be up to the new owners. Some people enjoy an old item "looking old" and I allow you to make that decision. I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS ITEM. It is sold "as is."
