Like a lot of the folks participating here, I don't collect them per se but do have several that I've picked up as part of FP sets. Here's what I could round up with a quick look around my desk, although I feel like I should have a few more. I'm pretty sure, for example, that I got one in a set with my Parker VP but the box for it(likely with the pencil) is a tub behind my desk that I'm not up to digging out now.
From top to bottom-
Montblanc 176
Montblanc 172
These are both click pencils that take something close to 1.1mm lead
Vacumatics in Golden Pearl, Silver Pearl, and Burgundy Pearl.
The burgundy I can't figure out the lead size on. I have .9mm in it now, which it will hold but it gets loose really easily. I'm guessing it needs the imperial size that's a bit larger than .9mm.
Then, a 51 Pencil, twist
The H&R Block pencil I would love to know who made it. My dad had an H&R block franchise back in the 80s, and these pencils were a staple around our house growing up. They weren't really meant as advertising pieces, but were used to fill out the tax returns that would then get duplicated by what I think he's described as a Diazotype process(he always said "blueprint"). My dad still has a box of lead kicking around his desk. It's a super soft ~1.1mm and makes dark lines with little pressure. It uses a simple helix to advance the lead, and retraction is manual. The original pink erasers long ago became useless, and the one in it now is a Pental-branded refill that I trimmed to fit an old ferrule.
The bottom is an Eversharp.
