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.

I know this doesn’t answer your question but here is the green one.

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.
