Mechanical pencils I've gathered over the years since they were my primary writing instruments since high school (well, I've lost those I used in high school and college).
Nothing special, really since most can be bought at stationary stores but I love my Pentel Kerry! Been my go-to mechanical pencil for 3 years. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5b81865449.jpg
So far this is what I have...

Top to bottom: Sheaffer Balance, Wearever, Eversharp Skyline, Zebra M-301, and Wahl Ringtop.
I've used the Zebras for years. The other pencils are part of FP sets.
During college (engineering degree) I used budget mechanical pencils almost exclusively including a Pentel Sharp Automatic (or whatever they were called in the early 90s). I wished I could remember the other brands.
Somewhere around here I have a beat up clutch pencil too. Edit: ah yes, Koh-i-noor Technigraph 5611...

Spendid pencils! Do you know who made them?
Thank you for the answer. I love those colourful old pencils too.

Despite being a true red ripple, this pencil doesn't appear to be by Waterman. It's quite large at 12.4cm. It was made in England but carries no manufacturer information. There is a patent number but it's a general one that applies to many different makes of mechanicl pencil.

When I bought the I thought they we’re gimmicky because of the black wood. I was wrong. They sharpen well. The wood stays nice and smooth and they look pretty good.
