Collecting vintage pencils-do you have any to trade for small art or mtg sigs. ❤️ vintage celluloid-Esterbrook or any w/ stripes. Also wood pencils 80-90’s and older-Tombow 100 & Mitsubishi but any older ❤️Pentel-I would love other colors & clutch pencils old or new. #amyweberstudio #vintagepencils

Another eBay score. Carbo-Weld is a good sounding name, they should have kept it on some others haha

got some vintage Bruynzeel pencils with box! Not sure on a date range but I'm guessing 60's? I was surprised the box opened up like that with a hinge, most old ones just open at the top (narrow end). Modern version for contrast. #pencilposting #vintagepencils

a photo of the pencil box, opened. it is hinged along the long side of the box, which is uncommon for cardboard boxes of the time. There is a paper slip extending out so you can lift the pencils out of the box easily. Inside of the lid has "Nederlandsche Potlood-Industrie Bruynzeel" printed on it.

finally got an ebay hit - and they're lefties!! These are the oldest iteration of Turquoise I have now, think these are early 1930's. I'm still after the even older version that has the realistic eagle logo, like on the box. Also, that box 😍 #pencilposting #vintagepencils

a photo of vintage pencils with their box. Eagle Turquoise from 1930's. They are painted blue with pale gold text stamped into the barrel. The box is various shades of blue with gold text and graphics, in an early Art Deco style.

Comparison of three Eagle Turquoise pencils. 1930, 1950, 1980 (rough estimates)

Some new additions - Master Desk; they have plastic ferrules but not sure what year they’re from. I think the ferrules cheapen the look of these. Cumberland’s Dessin; love the classic stained wood look. And Cumberland’s “special shorthand”; might make a vid on it
