BOXY FILES: BOXY International & BOXY Nero Limited Super Edition


Ok, a short and sweet entry for the BOXY FILES. L-R:

BOXY International M5-1005BOXY in silver / dark blue, champagne gold / brown and silver / black. I believe the ballpoint is SB-1005BOXY.

The last two are marked as BOXY NERO LIMITED SUPER EDITION in a dedicated box - I do not have model numbers for them.

All of these designs share a common oblong profile cross section that carries over to the plastic knock. The screen printed ‘dots’ on the grip areas do provide subtle tactile feedback.

For a very long time, I couldn’t determine if the silver BOXY International had a real black stripe or a very dark blue one. That’s the problem with online auction photography. Eventually ai pull the trigger on a silver / dark blue and thought that was it. But several months later, I saw a listing for a silver pair with a ballpoint, and thought: why not? Worst case is having a spare M5… turns out it was indeed a pair with a black stripe after all.

Now I wonder if I’ll ever see a BP with the brown and dark blue stripes!

This is my favorite Boxy pencil of all time. It has a retro-futuristic vibe that is very appealing.

Nice pictures of these!
