Yet another?

This is a standard Pastel model from the late 1920s. The easiest way to tell, for me anyway if the photos are good, is that these pens have an obvious plastic look. The best way I can describe the look of the Ivorine material is that is has a bit of a granular or textured look to it. It's almost like the difference between a RHR Duofold and a Permanite Duofold.

So, is this one then?

No, as already noted this is a Pastel Moire pattern. Even if it wasn't noticeable by the material, the two thin cap bands give it away. That pattern of cap band didn't come along until the late 1920s into the early 1930s.

Ok what makes them different? Different models? Sizes? Educate me please.
I'm pretty sure no Ivorine pencils were made for general sale and almost all Ivorines I've seen (admittedly a small sample)do not have a cap band.

There are a few Ivorines with bands on the cap, but they are extremely rare.
They're all pretty scarce/rare, to be sure. About 20% of the ones I've seen/handled have had a single cap band. One had a wide GF cap band, similar to a couple in Tony's photos.
