    Default Pencils found...

    These were sitting in a cup and looked interesting enough to pick up:

    Top to bottom:

    Redilite (Autopoint sub-brand?) advertising pencil and lighter, Pat. Pdg. B&B

    Kreisler Crown II 18Kt H.G.E. (that is Heavy Gold Electroplate as I understand it)

    Micropoint "Made in USA" is all I can find.

    Autopoint Burgundy "over the top clip".

    The bottom pencil appears to have a thicker lead than the one above it. I would expect at least that the bottom one would accept 1.18mm leads.

    I agree with the OP that it is an interesting collection.

    The "Redilite" is one I haven't seen before - the B&B stands for Brown & Bigelow, makers of the "Redipoint." There's no relationship between B&B and Autopoint. Nice piece.
