Things bought at the Flea Market Friday 26 June 2015 - A Box of Pencils (Item 5 of 6)

Got this box of pencils yesterday (26 June 2015) at the Kampung Berjaya Flea Market.

This flea market happens every Friday from 6 am till 2 pm when most of the traders head over to the nearby Zahir Mosque to preform their Friday prayers.

These pencils bring back wonderful memories of my childhood days when there were no mechanical pencils.

There were only four boxes inside. Two boxes of pencils with 2B leads and the rest had 3B leads in them

All the four boxes are made of metal and are completely full with 12 pencils in each of them

Details of the pencils - pressure proffed so that they do not break easily

British made

2B leads - soft

Pressure proofed again

These pencils were often touted as the Perfect Pencils - Made in England

Venus de Milo - one of the greatest Greek sculptures is used as the symbol for this brand: Perhaps you will be a great artist too if you use these pencils for your work?
