In 1950 a new system for the date coding was introduced where the two digits only indicated the year, not the quarter hence "50" means made in 1950, this system was used in the US until 1955 and in Canada a few years longer.. A Staedtler Mars was one of my first quality everyday carry mechanical pencils. It's a lead holder, which means, unlike a standard design with a bunch of thin-diameter graphite shafts, the Staedtler Mars comes with a 2mm lead with an integrated lead sharpener that functions with the pushdown mechanism. It comes with HB hardness lead, and you can rotate the metal clip to the correct indicator point for the particular lead you place into it to remind you of what you have loaded. The lead holder design makes it closer to a traditional pencil in concept, built sturdier and significant for all-around everyday carry. It's affordable, too, but don't mistake being cheap for poor quality.

gold plated fountain pen and cap-actuated ballpoint (same as 75 ballpoint), made in USA, both have early "NI" date code (4th quarter 1979), two-way 14K gold nib writes medium on one side, extra-fine on the other. It has been assumed that Parker began marking some of their pens on the trim or cap bands to allow for dating in 1970. Using the words " Quality pen", one letter per year, followed by a quarter marker, allowing for dating within a ten year span. prototype with light grey baked enamel finish over metal cap and barrel, gold plated trim, 14K nib, as new.

In 1986 Parker patented a process, developed together with Jamers Snyder of the University of Wisconsin, for depositing microlayers of gold and titanium nitride to create the glow of gold but the durability of chromium. The process involves physical vapor deposition of gold (PVD). Parker called it "Dimonite G". According to Parker a microlaminated surface of 1.3 micrometer has a "service life" equivalent or exceeding that of a 10 micrometer gold plating. And since thegold part of the microlayer can be as thin as about 0.003–0.3 micrometer, the amount of gold used in the process is incredibly low. But to reach a 93% visual accuracy compared to traditional gold plating, Parker uses a 3 micrometer layer of which 0.4 micrometer is 14K gold. Mechanical pencils are the best because they let you write and erase like a traditional pencil but without the possibility that you snap your pencil in half in your bag like you probably did in school. The durability and convenience of a mechanical pencil make it an excellent choice whether you are taking notes, solving a math problem, or sketching for art.Adding a mechanical pencil to your carry comes with benefits. Mechanical pencils don't need to be sharpened. They stay the same length no matter how many years you use them. Plus, many mechanical pencils allow you to draw with consistently fine lines, thanks to clever barrel designs and different tip designs. They have a consistent advancement mechanism, so you never need to fumble with a sharpener to get a clean writing style. textured red prototype finish, gold plated trim, "UC" date code, triangular nib marked only "F" on feed.
