I bought the second one on the left for my daughter. She loves it for sketching.

That’s a good choice! Wood does feel good in the hands. My son prefers wood to the metal.

Cool thread!
I also have a weak spot for leadholders - fat leadholders:

Rare to me for sure. No longer made. I have the rollerball and the .7mm mechanical pencil. They were made for a year or two. The Type 55 was a design inspiration from the 1965 Mustang gills on the car.

Wow...I have never seen a 23 before! That is what, maybe 3 inch’s tall?? That is very nice. There is nothing wrong with your collection. I wish I could find ones like that. Thanks for sharing!
