Wow Stephen, what a trove! Do they write as well as they look? Can’t wait to read your analysis of these pretties.

Hindustan Pencil Co. pencils are sold in Argentina? I would never have guessed.

So far I’ve used the Nataraj 621 and the Aspara Beauty. The Nataraj is a good, school/office quality pencil, in my opinion, but the red and black striping on it is great. The Aspara Beauty is a really nice pencil. Sharpens well, very smooth writing, nice black line.

Wow!! This brings back memories from my school days. Nataraj pencils were the standard school kids in India use. The design has not changed in 30+ years. Apsara pencils were the higher end used for drawing and looks like they have expanded the line to other models. Need to get a stash when I vacation next in India.
