Just for the sake of the game, I’ll say “Ohto” and leave it here.
Obviously, it could be anything else; I “feel” it is Japanese, but my “regional MP radar” is as broken as the next guy’s. 
I don’t know why but something inside me is whispering: ASTRA
No and no.
Fluted grip. Several makers produced inexpensive executive pencils like this.
Looks like it could be a Mitsubishi, but no… nose cone isn’t quite right and there’s a step on the plastic fluted grip.
The Pentel S55 also has a fluted grip, but there’s a taper to it that’s not present here…
The F-C TK9765 has a fluted grip but the nose cone is different. Could it be another F-C?
Nope. Hint: its a 90s pencil from a rather obscure German name brand.
Diplomat
Is it some old Stabilo pencil?
Astra
No. More like a general stationery brand, not a specific writing instrument manufacturer.
Wow… that’s pretty obscure! Highly likely most of us folks across the ocean aren’t going to know it…
Quite spontaneously and without being able to name the pencil exactly: Herlitz.
Thank God! Let’s see another!!!
Nice looking pencil btw
Lol. was wondering too.
I will! But it could take a day or two.
He wanted to create a suspense factor to build the excitement of the game back up to par.
That Herlitz seemed to bring down the enthusiasm imo.
It was a good one, it wouldn’t be so fun if the pencil was an easy one but, with that same breath, it gets exhausting not being able to figure it out.
I know the wait has built an anticipation in me.
