At the recently concluded Triangle Pen show this guy exhibited a large vintage, mechanical pencil collection. Circa 1920 -1955. The large cases pictured here featured pencils from the United States, Britain, Germany and Italy. 

 Thanks to my wonderful friend Janet Wright for the awesome pictures.

  The French connection was particularly well represented by the Waterman's Jif pencils pictured below.

  Maybe a pencil exhibit would not be complete without a couple bridge pencil sets.
