・Pilot Custom ‘Mizutama’ HG-300SK (1978)
I normally wouldn’t bid or buy pencils with personalised inscriptions but the one on the Polka Dot / Mizutama was for someone’s official visit to Pilot Japan headquarters in 1978… which predates my collected catalog scans from 82/83.
Wow I love that custom engraved Pilot! It must have been a present for a higher up from a foreign company, otherwise they wouldn’t have made it/would have been made in Japanese.
Micro squares and dots etched in a grid pattern is such a great motif. Nice examples, @drifand!
I agree with @RPD about the etched personalization. Might’ve been a high up official from a USA or EU office. So rare to have that. I wonder if the original owner had passed away and their surviving relatives weren’t interested in keeping it… leaving it to be included in the estate sale.
