Until I learn otherwise, this pencil is considered a non-drafting leadholder. This particular example was outfitted with copying lead from which I conclude it was used in an office environment. I have never seen Ofrex drafting products, only general office things like staplers.

This pencil has a rounded triangular cross section.
