i got a traveller's company* pencil 2nd hand for a few bucks today (they retail at like $30) so im very happy to have a steal of a deal but i also know that sounds deranged outside of all but the nerdiest stationery circles lol

#technically it's not traveller's company since that's a sub brand of midori formed in 2015 #which this evidently predates #but its almost certainly made in the same factory just stamped differently #i would say made on the same machines too but the modern TRC version seems to be physically slightly different #with the clip being (intentionally) removable via screw and the crimped eraser end non-skeuomorphic (aka functional) (lol)#judging by the websites pics #yes i am vagueposting my sources in the tags what abt it #abs blabs #context for the brainwormless: its a pencil extender/point guard made out of metal not like LITERALLY a $30 golf pencil #tho the “refills” literally are luxury golf pencils #the design isnt proprietary mind u so those are only for those bleeding money #itll fit w just abt any pencil/pencil crayon #id say i appreciate that but the design for bullet pencils predates midori lol so they BETTER not be paywalling writing instruments
