Any pencil collectors here? Collection updated 20131221
本帖最後由 bubu 於 2013-12-21 17:35 編輯I realize this forum is mainly for pens, particularly fountain pens.
But I would like to take the advantage of this section's Chinese name 筆 to post my hobby, pencil collecting.
I started collecting pencils in early 1980's for its endless ideas and creative graphic presentations within such a limited space (basically a tube shape).
And, it is cheap, almost available everywhere in the world.
At the same time, it is very challenging and takes a bit of luck to bump into those bearing a corporate name (eg. hotels, companies,fashion brands...) because you cannot find them in stationery shops.
Some pencils are really rare when they are promotional/advertising gifts which only run a short period of time. And after people use them, they are dumped.
I am of course a keen, daily pencil user. I do not use mechanical pencils, those you need to refill.
So far my portfolio reaches 2,000+ different pencils from around the world. Some gurus might have more than 20,000 pieces.
Here is the most expensive one I purchased many years ago in Frankfurt. The set costed about HKD3,000 in early 1990.
Here are some inexpensive ones. Nice pencils

There is also a thread on Wahl Eversharp pencil here. Very nice collection here. Especially the McDonald one, really catchy.
Pencils are more "collectibles" Than pens since you probably never use them at all.
Thanks for sharing your collections with us and looking forward to see more of your goodies. {:4_88:} they made me interested in collecting them now as well.
CHING, how many years you have been collecting? 正！{:4_134:}{:4_134:} 記得Leica 出國pencil，黑色 麥當勞筆正！ Summilux 發表於 2013-8-14 18:16

The McDonald's straw pencil is typically how a creative pencil can be made. Two unrelated things combined into something meaningful.
I will post more of my pencils once I get home digging out the files.
Up now, it has been 30+ years into this pencil black hole. MYM8 發表於 2013-8-14 07:29
