Another source for Worther Shorty 3.15 mm Clutch pencils and refills

Long time readers might recognize one of my favorite sketching tools in the picture above. This package from the Ipenstore arrived today. The shipment included three different color versions of the Worther Shorty 3.15 mm clutch pencil and some tubes with spare 7B graphite, red leads, and a blue ballpoint refill. It is nice to have the option of turning such a portable sketching leadholder into a ballpoint pen with this new refill. While not as smooth as a gel pen, it works adequately for some light writing duty or jotting down a quick note. With its compact dimensions and smooth reliable performance, the Worther Shorty makes for a great choice as a single field sketching tool. I have added this seller's link to the list of online retailers that have satisfactorily fulfilled an order in a timely manner on the right column of this blog.

My concurrence about this seller whom I know as Ebay seller "Streetfair". My dealings with him from 17000 km away in Australia have always been first class.

Thanks for the comment Kevin. This order was also placed with Ebay's Streetfair, and just made the connection that they were also the Ipenstore from its returning address and included flyer. While I stumbled upon the Ipenstore long ago, I did not order from them at the time since I could not find any reviews or anybody that had had any dealing with them.

Guys! I purchased 5 Shortys from the iPenstore back in March. I was very pleased with their service as well. I was so happy to find a source for these great clutch pencils! I've had an original that was made in W. Germany for 20 years. I was always cautious not to loose it out in the field. Was great to buy a few back-ups... and in groovy new colors!
