I have been looking for the pencil version of that 3rd from left for a while.

I found them looking for pencil, not for Burberry, the pictures where really bad and the descriptions said their are in a bad state. The mechanics on both is good, the clip on the ballpoint is a little loose and the leather on the grip, on both of them, is creased like it was soaked and then dried, also sticky. After a good cleaning I’m really pleased by their looks…,true vintage’'
I desired a black and white Kerry and since I got a good deal for those 2, CDT and balck with 5 logo, I made my own Kerry. I was atracted by the design of the green Givenchy, it has very nice fition and it’s back heavy. I found also the matching ballpoint but with a Guilloche pattern. It’s beautiful but the downside is the blanc place for Logo or personalisation with name, without the pattern.
The blue Kokuyo PS Portopia 81 was a surprise win on the YA, nobody bet on it.

You are the first person I’ve seen with another “Boston Club” 0.5mm (though mine silver, your’s gold).
Also— what is in between the lamy spirit and blue kokuyo?
I thought it was a Fuji corona, but all of mine change their design halfway (up/down) their body…

It says Fuji Corona 0,5 on the clip in the second picture. I have a couple of identical ones branded Koh-I-Noor 0,5.

Getting back to the original subject of this thread, this is how I store mine: any hard paper or cardboard box 2-3 cm high will do - in this case a chocolate box. I cut a piece of textured thick paper (office surplus from paperback bindings) so that it just barely fits. Mark the exterior top/bottom of the folds on its corresponding side, each fold is 1,5 cm wide. Cut just the surface with a boxcutter, fold to about 90 degrees with the cut on the outside, than push it inside the bottom half of the box.

The Boston Club, or the SunStar DE-254 feels a lot like the Alvin DraftMatic, heavy on the tip and a low weight body. The matte finish is pretty good and the knurling on the grip is strong.
That’s a FujiCorona between the Kokuyo and the Lamy Spirit.

Would you mind posting an image of the Fuji and your Kohinoors side by side?
I’d love to see. Thank you in advance

I meant I have two KINs, no Fujis. But they look identical to the Fuji posted by Drunax, except for the text on the clip of course.

I don’t have them at hand. We’re moving and the pencils are in the boxes. As soon as I get to them I"ll post the pictures.

Those KOH-I-NOORs look like they are wonderful to use. How do they feel in hand?
I really like the look of those Sakuras. What is that one on the yellow tray with the wooden grip and purple band?
It is very thin and light, the barrel is just a thin sheet of brass over a black plastic tube. Not great for big hands. The grip is ok, the click is mushy, it dispenses very little lead per click, which is ok if you dont like to have too much lead exposed. Overall not great, but also not bad.
