That's a nose-drive Writefine pencil usually found paired w/ a Jotter in a Pardners set until the early 60's. You can find older ones w/ a ridge clip, too. Parker 45 pencils are middle joint, longer, and have a washer clip held on w/ a metal jewel. Note this pencil has a one piece clip/jewel. The Writefine can be also be found as a flighter, Custom (GP cap), Imperial (GP cap and barrel) and I've also got a flighter middle joint short version.

Writefine was a low priced pencil and lever-fill pen line in 1939. About 1940, it was the name of Parker's pencil lead and a short-lived line of utility pencils meant to compete with Sheaffer's Fineline utility pencil. Most all of the pencils in the 1941 catalog are "Writefine."
