That is not a bad deal. Plus, it’s located here in the states.

It was the complete set of Pentel PS35 (silver), PS45 (4 colors) & PS65 (gold). Actually a good price for all 6.

In your opinion, whats “market value” on them?

I paid about $20 each back in 2019 & 2022, so these are about 75% of that.

I hope someone from here got them. I think the empty boxes are catchy!

I snagged them! Thanks for posting them

Hey @nimrodd,

I think i found either 1. An outlier to known date codes of plastic reservoirs in PS45s 810928 is plastic .. or 2. Since this was bought as a set, maybe the lead reservoirs from the PS35 or PS65 were swapped around.

This helps me identify when the reservoir was changed over. I don’t think my pencils have this tight a date range in that time period
