Help identifying this double knock


I’m looking for information on these. Does anyone know when they were sold and for how much?

I’ve seen these in green also (I think - it was a dark picture).

Thanks.

The smooth lower section reminds me of the early Staedtler RETRO series. But these are definitely by Mitsubishi.

These are the cheapest Mitsubishi double-knocks; as far as I know, the entire current supply was acquired by Elton in a single auction in 2022.

This pencil is essentially a cheaper version of the Staedtler Retro, and it also feels like a bland adaptation of a variant of the Grip500 (which was also done by Platinum, Linex, Pyramid, and a few others).

I think the original retail price was ¥300.

do we have access to any old Mitsubishi catalogs?

aside from the 1988 partial scans?

Not that I am aware of, but I always browse X (Twitter) hoping to find something like this.
