Well done! If we give, say, one point for the manufacturer, and one more for the exact model, you would get 12/20. Pretty good!
Any other eagle eyed pencil users want to hazard a guess?
Wow it’s very funny.

I’ve never seen a Prospector in that red-and-blue combination. Where did you find that?
Hi adair, it was offered on the CalCedar ebay store some while ago. I think it may be a limited or trial version. The pencil is of course still available in a variety of finishes.
