Here we have two versions of the Sterling Plastic Pencil Box. The ones on the left are the Multiplier Pencil Box #555 and the ones on the right are the Pencil Box #524. As you can see if you click on the picture that some had advertising on them and were probably given away to customers. The boxes had a pencil sharpener, 6" ruler that doubled as a sliding lid, and two or three pencils. The most popular is the Multiplier Pencil Box and had a plastic slide for use in multiplication.

ReplyDeleteI have one # 555 Sterling Multiplier Pencil Box. It is red, with the slide being yellow and the multiplier being white. I have only seen one like i have on E-Bay and it was selling for $ 24.99. What are you selling them for ?
ReplyDeleteMine are not for sale. They are part of the collection. My best Sterling Plstic pencil boxes are the roll tops.
