My first of these was the Auto 3 and ever since I’ve been buying this color combination when I see it.

There are 5 other Pentel’s that I know of in that color scheme.

I’ll grab them when I see them then, that pencil in particular is one of the better ones in that picture.
The biggest surprise was the Berol Continuum, the biggest let down was the Zebra extendable pencil.

The zebra extendable is truly bad.

What did Zebra get wrong with the SS1000? I thought it was a pretty nice side-evolution of the classic Slidy DX.

In my opinion at least, it’s got terrible build quality, especially the internals and plastic clutch - all made out of the usual cheap white plastic!

The plastic external is very cheap feeling
If you accidentally twist it then you’ll break the clutch “did it to two, happens with almost no effort)
Great idea
Poor execution

That AGAP?
I need that
It’s a real need
It needs to be had by me
The Fugle is so nice, I’m glad to see another variation of it
So many in the market are the same variation

On of the nicest looking (IMO) "flat tops’ from the late '20’s, early '30’s..note the slight differences at the nose

I can dig it
The French and the Swiss really were very good at making lead holders
That Black DJ Fugle is one I have been searching for for years.

Wow! I didn’t even know the DJ Fugles came in this color! What are the rest of them called?
I never knew that guy existed!

Metal button too! The only one between the older ring cut metal button models and the Haberli limited editions from a few years back with this feature. I’m not sure they aren’t gold plated. Thing this 28 was a late 80s/early 90s release, judging by the box it came in.

Your 0.5 Cd’A has a nose cone I have never seen before. I have only seen the gold nose cone with banded/fluted grip. Have you seen others like yours?
