LEEROOOOY JENKINS
Lovely post. More impressed with the Duck Archives every day - first time I’ve seen a lot of these.
I see a Caran d’Ache Ecridor XS over there… Man of culture…
Also, that Criterium! That’s impressive.
You cursed me with the knowledge of its existence. A lot of searching and searching later….
And two pencils inserts! 
OK..pick a number: what “qualifies” as “short”…? ( this will be fun…)
I guess roughly 12mm and less is what I went for here.
I really like that graphica on the bottom right! More than a few gems in there, definitely didn’t come up short!
That red varius is really nice!
@Pencilking definitely wants that Bohemia Works 5991!
Right column, third from the top, red body: is it some sort of “shorter” FC Varius? No idea they made it so tiny as well, I have only seen the standard, long ones. Truly amazing!
Definitely! But since I have two of that model, I find more interesting ones to me in that photo! I never saw an A. W. Faber-Castell with the white imprinting background (second from top-left)!
Me either
So fancy looking
I was looking into my rulers and found this misplaced leadholder that I totally forgot about. It seems to be in excellent condition.
I want to quiz you all and see who will first correctly guess its brand!
Looks like the knurling pattern of a Faber
Yes, but the brand isn’t 
Then I want to say Staedtler but I don’t know for sure because I have nothing with that clip.
I wouldn’t quiz you if it was an easy guess I would have never guessed it if I do not have it with me. And it is not Staedler
And let me know when you give up
I give up but I’d like someone else to respond the answer before it’s given. I think Dan is better equipped to give an educated response.
All right, I will wait a little more…
