I have some Berol era Eagle Black Warrior 372's that I covet as much as my first diary. These are not really that old, but I really love the history that goes behind them. I also have some Eagle Verithins from the same era along with other pencils. I LOVE YOUR SITE! BTW I am 15 yrs old and I think I may be the only one in my high school that really is interested so much in pencils that I am reading Petroski's "The Pencil." The Eagle Mirado…

They are the only true HB pencils i have ever used. they produce light lines with light pressure, and dark blacks with hard pressure. Any other HB takes a great deal of rubbing to produce a black, and most feel hard and the blacks are not true. i covet, these pencils, like fine wine or expensive brandy, using them only when i need to fill in blacks. I would like to get my hands on more of them. Ohhhhh, I have many Bohemia works, Granada 1380 HB pencils, made in Czechoslovakia.

The various shades of yellow are very nice. – I wish I had such drawers ... ;-) As far as I know the "Bohemia Works" brand was used by Koh-I-Noor where they couldn't use their own name because of trademark issues in the target country.
