and

The pencils are 18cm long, have blue leads and printed on the shaft in gold is :
FAR EAST MADE IN HONG KONG RAINBOW COLOURS.
These original bundles of 12 pencils are tied with string at both ends.
I found these in rather battered old boxes (plain) in a long deserted wholesalers warehouse.
Some of the pencils have the odd nick from the end, the labels have the odd scratch or tear and the pencils are rather dusty...even though the boxes they were found in were still tied up tightly with string !
