The Staedtler 925 3505-8
Is it just me or is that logo hideous?
I really want to like this pencil but just can’t seem to get past this logo.
BTW what is a “good” price for this one?
IF I get it I do not want to overpay.

Hahaha. Now that’s mechanical pencil addition syndrome.
I hate it. I want it.
Btw: @Heath will egg your house if you criticize the logo one more time.

Anything below $80 would be considered a good price.

Guess I might as well get this ugly bastard since I already apparently have a 925 addiction
EDIT: what am I missing?
(Besides all the 925 35 color variations)

The yellow, red, and green next to each other is chef’s kiss

I basically stopped after 2018 when I managed to customize this set in roughly ISO-correct metallic colors:
0.3mm Yellow (Loft 2018)
0.5mm Titanium (brownish / Korea 2017)
0.7mm Cyan Blue (Coach & Four 2018)
0.9mm Orange Red (Coach & Four 2018)
2.0mm Snow White (Korea 2018)
After that… the All-Black series in 2019 and a couple of F9 ballpoint reissues rounded off my 925 25/35 journey. I haven’t even found a way to put my silver and gold Hands Meisters into rotation.

Is this a new one or do I have it already? 
Edit: I googled, it’s the Charcoal LE and old, so I have it. Don’t post old LEs w/o mentioning that it’s not new!!!

Oh wow—the wider knurling is intriguing!

Not an identical 925-35 to the one you posted, Patrick, but this one is still gorgeous. Ending in 4 hours and will likely go for less than 60$:

Thank. You. Didn’t see that. I picked one up on rakuten for $59 and had a 300¥ coupon

For the sake of completeness: This logo was used from 1952 to 1957.
