My Collection – Photos and Commentary

Philippines

I have a little collection of vintage pencils from colleges and universities in the Philippines.  Maybe you have never seen such a thing…

Well, now you have.

I also have several brand-name types made there —

The Eberhard Faber ones have a “MADE IN PHIL.” imprint.  The Master’s has an MPC logo; presumably this stands for Master Pencil Co.

    • I thought they were special too. I found them mixed in with a large lot of ad pencils. I wonder how they all got there in the first place. They appear to be from at least three different manufacturers, including Staedtler.

  4. It’s interesting how many of those university pencils are left-hand oriented!
