My beautiful other half bought these at an estate sale, imagine my anticipation. When opened, all was not as it seemed.

Stratford mechanical pencils.
Extremely inexpensive, in a misc box for $3. I will have to research and find someone who will appreciate them. Let me know if you know of anyone.

Ugh--what a disappointment (if you were hoping for Esterbrooks).

I was laughing when I opened them. Absolutely a A+ for the effort. She has learned a lot about fp's and did not think they were Esterbrook's. She also picked up a Parker desk pen set...that works, a 45 I think. Pic of it coming soon, it cleaned up very easily. For $5.50, had box and original instructions and price tag. Very cool!!
