Pentel Sharp Five 5 = S-55

Proof enough?

Yes, but now I want to call it Sharp 5 :grin:

And of course you can see here where the 55 comes from, with the Five inside the 5.

I’m bidding on this one.

I’m not 100% sure that the box actually matches the pencils. The “A” on the edge should indicate that the pencils have a black grip. Or, I could have been misinterpreting the meaning of the “A”.

Of course the S59 also has the Five inside the 5,

It’s just so satisfying to see the ‘S-55’ label on the side of the box…

Agreed! The boxes are one of our primary sources for determining some early Pentel model numbers. This box is fantastic. It may be better than the pencils it contains.
