#vintage pencil

[syncallio]

Today I felt like mixing things up and showing you a vintage pencil. This beautiful thing is roughly 100 years old.

Mechanical pencils have been around forever. They're not as reliable or convenient as modern ones, but man do they look cool. This one here is gold-plated brass with a lovely chevron pattern etched into it.

It takes a 1.1mm lead, which is pretty thick - most folks use 0.7 or 0.5mm. The lead in this one is original. I was very surprised to find it not only loaded, but with spare leads in the chamber.

(FYI vintage leads are graphite, same as in modern pencils. Pencil lead has never been actual lead. It's just that back in the day people thought graphite was a type of lead.)

To use, first turn the knob at the end counter-clockwise as far as it will go, then insert the lead into the point. It will slide completely into the pencil. Then turn the knob clockwise to advance the lead.

I have a few vintage pencils, usually because they were a matched set with a pen. This one I bought on its own. It lives in my purse, and gets used to mark my choir music.

This is a pretty old poster I've made last year, back when I used to do Cuphead stuff. It's supposed to be against the bots in Team Fortress 2. It was inspired by the Mickey Mouse cartoon "Mickey's mechanical man", it was originally gonna have a sniper bot shooting someone but it didn't seem like it was against the bots, just encourages them so I changed it to Heavy hating punching them instead so it represents the normal players' hatred towards them.

Use this as a spray if you want.
