Still shoveling. Reckon the stupid must be ingrained in you boy. Very sad.

Used the wrong word. Its not ingrained its inbred. If you want to talk pencils then go for it. If you want to keep shoveling then expect the pushback. Seems like you enjoy it because you keep on shoveling!!!
The new-to-me Autopoint arrived yesterday. I installed new .9mm lead and added a NOS Autopoint eraser. As someone said, the rarest Autopoint pencil in the one that does not work.

M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
Well, dog my cats Slim you just don't get the Point. Even when you are Lead in the right direction.
I reckon you've spent most of your life as a Dull boy who is always running on Empty.
Never the Sharpest pencil in the pack.
Why don't you try darkening FPN's door Moonman?
Oh, that's right, you can't........
They've already booted Uranus outa there.
Pity.

$3.25 is some deal!! There's quite a few vintage autopoints on ebay tho they often dont state specific models. Perhaps there were no models per say, just lots of different pencils? Prices are all over the place too!!
Incidentally just discovered the "Ignore" button so the intellectually challenged fellow can dribble into his bib as much as he likes and I dont have to see it. Maybe the others on the list have done same to me. Either way its a win win really.
I edited this to say all names from list now added. They can play amongst themselves.

Seriously David, do you really think this latest, "classic" EoC vicious attack has anybody either fooled or intimidated?
Feel free to continue to lash out all you want and expect, in kind, for it to get called out for what it is. The musings of a miserable soul.
At the risk of repeating myself (a waste of time, I know) why not get the Lead out and stick to the Point? This is a thread about Pencils.

Vintage mechanical pencils used 0.046” and 0.036” graphite “leads”. The Metric imitations are just close.
Monsoon (December 27th, 2022)
True that. Modern pencils are all metric tho. Prefer 0.5mm and 0.7mm mostly. Fatter points make my writing messy. The topic is about collecting and I dont really have a collection rather than a handful of modern models. Its more a practical consideration for me tho I do like them and may end up accumulating more.
ChuckNiall, that weblink for Legendary Pencils is great!! May grab one just for fun.

Hmm, its always good to have review of course. Was there something particular that led to that lack of enthrallment? From a purely esthetic standpoint I like the idea of black rubber with engine turning on it or something that looks like that, which is why this brand attracts me. What alternatives exist without going to old pencils?
