Today I received this little box in the mail. Price total came to $51 including shipping. Not too bad.

Overall, they’re in pretty good shape. The PS513 in the middle is one purchased back in 2015. (That is when I first discovered the pencil’s existence).

Disassemble one of the pencils n you find a metal lead reservoir w/o stamped manufacturing date.

Since there is no date on the lead reservoir, is there a way to know its age through the manufacturing number on the box or no?

Were these circa 1980s? If yes, then MAYBE the manufactured number’s ‘60’ could refer to Showa 60 or 1985.

Same here, especially in that condition.

If there is no date, they are probably pre-76.
