Thats one thing that hasnt changed much over the years is carpenter pencils
To the right collector, that could be worth something. Pencils nerds are fucking nerds.(Its me, but someone with money. Old pencils are cool).
He must be the relieved you found it.
Fuckers are always leaving their shit in attics.
MMMMMMMMMM forbidden graphite
Those flat pencils always remind me of my dad 🥹
Hey! I’ve been looking for that.
So, did you give it back to him or not and just bragging that you got a free pencil?
My uncle makes these type of pencils still.
I would LOVE to add that to my antique tool collection. An amazing find, and makes me think about the pencils I inevitably leave in peoples homes all the time.
WOW

Dude must have gone on to work at Boeing.
Looks at the thickness of the led on that bad boy, they don’t make them like that anymore. It’s like a double stuffed Oreo.

I wonder if the “lead” was actually lead?
And it took them four hundred years to look up there?
I had a simple one in the 90s that you wouldn’t have told apart from that pic
Cool
Woah
Carpenter pencil tech is progressing really slowly.
Just goes to show they don’t make em like that anymore. The house must be sturdy too. Nice pencil btw
I hope you returned it to them.
