Today on Twitter, @pentel_five posted a pic, then later a link to an online auction for a Pentel presentation case for a Scepter pencil. What makes this special is that it also had the outer protective cardboard box.
And I completely forgot this, but a little over a year ago, @Cummins07 purchased a Sterling Silver Scepter (dang it, he outbid me) that ended up coming with a sleeve for the case.
Now, he told me “I don’t remember if I’ve told you yet, but the model # for the Sterling Silver Scepter looks to be “P5005.” The text is stamped near the top left corner of the pencil’s box.”
I replied, “I vaguely remember you mentioning that, but it doesn’t fit in with Pentel’s numbering system for the “P” lineup. This pencil cost ¥7000, so it should be P7005. The Gold should be P5005, since it cost ¥5000 and the Silver Plated P3005.
I believe you won both of those [he also won a Gold Plated Scepter] from the same seller. I wonder if at some point, either he, or whoever owned them before him, put that on the wrong pencil.”
I believe with the two sleeves, the P7005 & P5005, we now have a link pointing to these being the model numbers for the Sterling Silver & the Gold Plated Scepters, leaving the Silver Plated to be the P3005.
The next update to the books will have this information updated with that.
