| Vintage Mitsubishi Boxy Turbo Bicolors |
Some of my favorite “notable” pencils have come to me as
gifts from generous friends who know I have a thing for colored pencils. This
set of Mitsubishi Boxy Turbo Bicolors is not only bicolored (my all-time favorite form for colored pencils) – it’s also vintage!
Marked with the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards)
symbol, which means the pencils were manufactured in 2008 or earlier, the image
of the car inside the tin lid is a clear indication that the set is much older
than 2008 – it screams of the boxy late ‘80s or ‘90s. A design that’s “approved
by Honda”!

(This is part of my series of occasional posts that are
not really reviews but stories about products I find notable
for one reason or another.)
Fun and useful gift from a friend!
