Pentel PD 515 Pencil

 
Posted by PicasaOne of the first pencils from the 70s that I collected were the Pentel PD345s. Solid colors came first then the clear ones. I was in Germany in the mid 70s and I would go down town to the local stationary stores looking for pens and pencils. On the left is a solid orange PD 345, then a clear blue PD345. The third one is a clear PD 345 with a green clicker from Mexico. Then we have a green and white PD 335. My PD 505 all metal sideclicker is next and is one of my best pencils. Thanks Germ. Last is my newest one. A retired gray PD 515 Popnpop. Never seen one before. This PD 515 has a metal tip that houses the point while all the others have plastic ones. The PD 515 is a great addition to my collection. Add all these great pencils to your collection.

Newest JetPen Order

 
Here we have my most recent order from JetPens. First is the R-301 rollerball pen. I had the black one and this one is blue. Next is this real neat 6" ruler that can fold into a L shape. A must for everyone. I started using one of my Lamy fountain pens so I picked up the florescence orange ink. I believe the best item in the lot is this new plastic pencil sharpener that you rock back and forth to sharpen so your hand does not have to twist around. It also clicks when the point is ready. How do you beat that? Pencil caps are nice and last is the Zebra Mulsion ball point pen. All very nice stuff so get over to JetPens and add all this stuff to your collection.Posted by Picasa

Another Pentel EnerGel

 
Pentel EnerGel has been a very popular pen and now we get more colors. The silver, pink, and black have all been in our local box stationary stores. I added the dark blue and the gold from a seller in Japan. Now we get a light blue. I enjoy all the colors but I was surprised to see a dark and light blue. I would have gone with a red or green. So there are now six colors to choose from so add them all to your collection.Posted by Picasa

More Old Scripto Pencils

 
The Scripto K780 is the most notable and popular of the Scripto pencils but there are others that you may want to add to your collection. All these pencils use the standard Scripto 1.1mm size lead except the P452 on the left. The P452 TOP-AD pencil is new to the supply room and uses 0.9mm lead. It gets it's name from the Ad  just under the eraser. Next is a Scripto 4-47 pencil from the late 40s and early 50s. Many of these pencils were used for advertising and can be found on eBay. They are a very thin pencil. I have five of them in my collection. Next is a ME-1.  A real good looking old Scripto pencil in blue. To it's right is a M800 model used for advertising followed by the pearl version of the M800. There are plenty of variations of these M800s with some being called MP-1s. Both these M800s appear to have never been used. Last is the Scripto Wordmaster and considered by many to be one of the best pencils ever made by Scripto. All these great pencils should be in your collection.

This Is A BIC Collection!!

 
This is a BIC collection that any BIC pen collector would love to own. Not only does the collection seem to cover all the bases but they put the collection is the proper display cabinets to highlight the entire massive collection. This collection is made up of modern BIC products since about the 1990s or late 80s. This is impressive. Hard to believe BIC had these many products over the years.  Candy from Thailand is the owner of these BICs. She is selling some BIC extras from the collection and she can be found on eBay.  Add this collection to your collection.Posted by Picasa

Another Old BIC Counter Top Display

 
At a little over 24" high this is my tallest all metal BIC display. You would have been able to put 12 boxes of pens on each side holding a total of 144 pens. The display is in good shape with the only visible rust being on the base. The stand turns around so it would have been placed on some type of counter so someone would be able to spin it around. Old empty BIC boxes are now getting harder to fine. I need 8 more just to fill this one side. These types of metal and cardboard counter top displays are getting harder to find and this one shows that the bottom four slots are for the F-25 BIC fine point pen. The F-25 yellow fine point BICs are also very collectible along with the newer F-29 yellow fine points. Add all this great pens and displays to your collection.Posted by Picasa
