Can I ask how rare are the window patern pilots? I think they look absolutely beautiful. I would love to get one someday.

I have a couple extra Keshiman pencils, so I could sell you one (near mint with label) if you’re interested.

It’s a good question. Back when I’d bought my first one, I was seeing about a handful of them turning up for auction each year. By the time I’d bought my second one, it was down to about 3 per year. I think I saw 2 sell earlier this year, but that’s about it.

Wow - that TOMBOW SH-1500LP is really nice.

There is one on Mercari, but it looks gold tinted. Is that just the lighting?

Probably the lighting - the seller says it’s silver.

A couple beat up 0.3s are on YJP too:

I’ve only seen two or three of these since April of 2021—they’re super rare.

Heyyy, I might go for this! Haven’t had a proxy in months, so I’m just picking up odd pieces here and there.

Mercari or Yaj?

Both, gotta look at everything if you want to find the best pieces. If I am actively buying, I’m looking through every new listing on YAJ and Mercari every day.

You’re slacking, dude! :smirk::wink::smile:

Just within the past 4 months, there have been 4… and I’m pretty sure there were a few more earlier in the year, as well as 4~5 in 2022.

If you trace my reply, you’ll see I was talking about the window pane etched Pilot Clutch Point, not the Tombow SH-1500LP.

Yeah, I see that now. Gets confusing with replies not quoting when there are multiple pens discussed in one topic. Anyway, I was just ribbing you. NHNF.
