I just wanted to give a huge shout out to a certain somebody. I don’t think he’s on here and will post something on r/mechanicalpencils a bit later, but look what arrived in the mail today:
This isn’t the first time someone I barely know has gifted me a pencil and each time I am incredibly honored and appreciative, but to have someone give up something so rare renews (some of) my faith in humanity.
Wow! You got it! See, this is what I love about this community!
I’ve received a handful of pencils from fellow collectors and it’s one of the best parts of this hobby. I usually keep it hush-hush cuz I wouldn’t want someone spilling the beans on the subreddit that I gifted a pencil and now I’m getting hit up left and right
Agreed and I have had the same concerns. I’ll ask him before I post anything about it.
Ha! Just saw this. Good times. That was such a random ebay find and I was glad to get it into a proper collection. Cheers.
Woaoooahh is that a 0.5? Im pretty sure you can only buy the 0.7s nowadays!
It’s a 2 bar body. I don’t think they make those any more, just the 3 bar bodies.
I have no clue how I didn’t realize this was the two-bar body! I’ve only ever seen the three-bar, no clue these even existed.
How cool
Thank you again bud!
Sure thing. I wonder if other colors of the two bar were made. You may have to track them all down…
I keep an eye out but haven’t seen another one in the wild.
Edit: I’m sure now that I’ve said this, someone will send a link for one.
