The Koh-I-Noor with the interesting graphite

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.

Is it a rare piece no longer made?

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.
