Take one last look at everything in The Toolbox™ 👀

I never imagined The Toolbox™—with its ~1100 pencil display capacity—would prove inadequate, but here we are.

For posterity, I posted pictures of each drawer on X. Unless I’m mistaken, this is the first time I’ve posted a significant portion of my collection; I always find it fascinating to see how others have chosen to arrange their collections.

I LOVE to see huge gatherings like this. Your collection is amazing.
It must take you ages to get all those lined up in strait lines.
BTW I only see one drawer are the others on separate posts?

It’s a thread, which is a string of posts that run together. Scroll down to see the rest of the posts.

:point_up_2: clearly not a Rotring guy

rOtring, Staedtler, Spoke, Faber-Castell, Berol, Alvin, and other manufacturers are currently in an auxiliary toolbox.

Hell, even my killer BOXY collection isn’t even in The Toolbox™ right now.

This is a major reason why I’m moving to The Pencil Files™.

I’m absolutely gobsmacked by your collection!

And by the fact that so many pursue all the variants of each model… Some years ago I counted over 800 pencils in my collection (shouldn’t exceed 100 nowadays) but it was only 1 model of each, apart from the accugraphs — of which I only keep the PG15 now…

That means that you guys should have approx 5000 pencils at least!! That is amazing.

I wonder if it was me who sold you your Sprinter in green :wink:

'grats!

Wanted to know a bit more on these please.

Pilot hybrids with a smooth, hard-to-grip screenprint finish. Cool little designs you don’t see very often; I was fortunate to score both pieces at separate times during my frenzied buying spree from 2021–2023.

I haven’t seen one for sale in quite some time.

I always find myself coming back to this post to cross-reference things.

Mind sharing what these pieces are? I’m mostly interested in the 3rd one in.

3rd one is an executive under the “Colleen” moniker (NOT “Colleen Jib”). The piece to the right of it is also just “Colleen.”

Occasionally, these kinds of specimens will pop up on Mercari or YAJ, and it’s worth noting that I’ve only seen executive styles.

Thank you. I actually just searched and found one for a little less that $10.
