I did use the word carelessly, and am fortunate that a professional teacher enjoys the blog enough to take some time and point out the error. I will reword the post.

I always read you findings with interest - some of them have inspired me to try pencils I haven't even imagined existed. Then I hope I haven't stepped on any toes - but as a teacher I'm afraid I'm in the bad habit of correcting people, unfortunately I can't promise it won't happen again :) . best regards Henrik First of all, thank you for a nice blog.

The first image is from Staedtler. The image is from the interior of an old box housing a half-gross of Staedtler 2957 pencils. (I'll probably feature these pencils in a future article.) I think the artwork is great. This of course is not the surprise. The second image - which to me also evokes Staedtler, even if based on another era of warrior, is to my surprise from General Pencil. It is from the box housing a half-gross of Cedar Pointe pencils (which I'll also likely discuss at some time). To reveal where the images came from…

The first one is a greek guy, probably Ares, judging from his helmet. (I know, it is Mars wearing a greek helmet) - the staedtler logo from 1925. The second one - a medieval knights helmet. Could be anyone - but from the colour scheme I guess it must be some Staedtler too? However, to the best of my knowledge none of them are centurions in the Roman/Latin meaning of the word. best regards Henrik Hmmm what can it be?
