Hello. I am looking to buy ‘Pentel Hi-Polymer Refill Leads for professional’ with the product code CS33 (for 0.3mm) or CS55 (for 0.5mm).
In Japan, it’s labeled ‘For Pro’, but the product I want to buy is the export version with ‘For Professional’ printed on the lead container. To aid understanding, I have attached a past catalog listing photo from the Pentel catalog where an example image of the product I seek exists.
I am looking for 0.5mm 2B, 0.5mm 4H, and all kinds of 0.3mm leads. If anyone have these products, please leave a comment or contact.

What catalog is the top one from? I see the bottom in the 1996 German Catalog, but I don’t see the top image from any of the US Catalogs I look in.

Welcome to the forum! It’s great to have you here! I like the Pentel lead containers, but haven’t picked up any of the “For Pro” or “For Professional” ones. How do you store or display your cases of lead? Do you have a favorite model mechanical pencil for testing the different leads?

Nice to meet you.I display mechanical pencil leads in display showcase (unveiled soon) and also store them in their original packs of ten. I always believe that mechanical pencils and their leads should be from the same company. Therefore, I primarily test Pentel leads with the Graph 1000 or Mechanica.

I see. These are things I’ve owned at some point. There are limited New-Ain products too, but I actually got the campaign itself. I’ll show you a picture. Enjoy!

That’s so awesome! I love the little treasure box! I bought 25 of those packs. The kids opened them up. I recorded it on my phone, but they were taking so long and I was beginning to think there wouldn’t be a gold one, that I stopped. Right after I stopped, my daughter revealed a gold one! (I keep hoping Pentel will release one made of actual metal.)

So lucky! After analyzing all 110 items, I found that 8 of them were silver and 2 were gold.
