I just sold a Black Chrome Sketch Pencil/Pen Combo from Penn State. I wiped the pen with a soft rag before putting it in the box and then went to wipe it once more to remove the fingerprints I put on it placing it in the box. Then I see a blemish that I can't seem to wipe off, so I take the pencil/pen to the photo box where there is good light. It looks like a plating problem. I got another pen that also was done in black chrome plating. I wipe it firmly with the rag; black color comes off onto the rag. Now I get another one that is chrome plated and wipe it hard. Looks just fine. It's the plating.
Anyone done any of these pencils or seen it happen on another model? I'm going into the showroom tomorrow to discuss with them but I'd like to know if anyone else has had this happen. I need to know if it was batch specific or their whole supply is bad. The lady who bought the pencil will accept chrome plating but prefers the black chrome look.
