Does anyone have any info on these? Are they as solid as they look? Who manufactured them and where?

Looks like a white-labeled Sun-star drafter from the late 1980s/early 1990s…

Interesting. I never heard of this brand before. Someone posted about the brand, showing a plastic “P205” style drafting pencil, about 4 years ago. HERE.
And there’s a “Planet Architetto” sold on Amazon Germany.

@Vici81 It might be an Italian ripoff of some other brand pencil, maybe a product of the ARDA brand, or similar companies.
Those of you interested in the pencil can have it for 10 Euro or less here, on Vinted (I’m not affiliated in any way with the seller, just happened to browse the site for stuff while this thread cropped up); the ad says that the eraser is a bit worn out, but the writings on the side look crispier than those in the picture above: https://www.vinted.it/items/3408219773-portamine-matita-meccanica-si-possono-inserire-varie-mine

“This page no longer exists”
Did everyone buy them all???
Unfortunately, I hadn’t saved the page in my “favourites” list, so I have no idea when & how they were sold; the only thing I’m sure of is that i didn’t buy them.
I’ve seen them come up every now and then on Vinted, on Wallapop, and even on FB marketplace, but since they are probably considered cheap supplies for school pupils by the vast majority of people browsing those platforms, they come and go quickly.
Should I see something coming up while i search for other stuff, I’ll post here and keep you updated, @Hammer_Jackson.
