Matured "Mistsu-Bishi" 9800 *B*

Here is a "Matured "Mistsu-Bishi" 9800 *B*" pencil. From the marking of the company's "Established 1887" we can presume that this was likely a promotional pencil for the Mitsubishi Pencil Company, who now specializes in the production of the "uni-ball" brand of pens; they should not be associated with the "Mitsubishi Group", despite their identical logo. This particular pencil is in a dark, almost "forest", green. The serial number is 07Ak954.



Specifications:
"Matured" to a prime age
It is stamped with the "General Writing" category (due to it's *B* class medium density lead)
Classic Hexagonal shaping
Basic writing comfort

6/10

Staedtler Polo 0.5 776

Here is a beautiful specimen of a mechanical pencil circa, approximately, 1987-88. I am thinking it used to be much more of a "Staedtler Blue" but it seems to have faded with excessive ultraviolet radiation. Nevertheless, I just found it in my collection of pens and pencils and it was too retro and awesome not to spread to the world. Lead is held very securely. It is light, yet very durable and comfortable. Basic features including:

Shirt Clip
Sturdy Eraser Cap
Rigid Guide Tube
Perforated Grip Zone
Excellent Writing Control
