In spite of its decidedly triangular shape — around which I cannot wrap my head — I find this piece truly beautiful.

A Tekagraph which decided to wear a much longer dress, in a colour so timeless, and so classy. I am amazed.

I assume “Cumberland” (from England) is the pencilmaking brand, and “5 star” is the model name; by the way, five stars thoroughly deserved. Am I correct?

Dang
I spent at least a few minutes trying to come up with a clever play on words…
As you can see, I was unsuccessful!

Cool! What is the model number on the Criterium on the bottom position? I found a website listing many specimens, but I am not sure that model is listed.

2113… I have spares

I see, that one. I’m more oriented towards the model no. 2513 actually, I think it has a rounder form factor — but then again, I could be wrong, as I have neither model at this stage.

Also, never seen that FC TK-something in green. Very peculiar.

TK3…Holds three spare leads (individually!) around the center of the barrel… the Gatling gun of leadholders

I know 2520…not 2513…Fat lead?

Right on all counts. Its a weirdly soft plastic though, which some of this era were. Very comfortable though.

That Illfelder’s great!

No, I think it is a 2.00mm holder. My reference for (almost) all Criteriums is this page: Les porte-mines – Le criterium au fil du temps and I think it is a very helpful resource.
