I got another random pen -- or in this case pencil -- lot recently. I spent about $18, let's see what I scored.

The red and black instrument was used for paste up work. Used to apply and burnish Letraset and other types of dry transfer products. If the instrument comes apart, see if it has other sizes of burnishing tips stored there. Really like these "exploration" videos. Thanks!

This makes sense! Like a rub on stencil type thing. Thanks!

These are also used for embossing. And you can still find near identical ones at Michael's (and similar places) sold for that purpose. My guess is someone was clearing out the desk of an artist, crafter or graphic designer and found some pens or tools of real value, and this was the left over junk. So, they put it in a lot and sold it too.

@@RobotPorter Yes, my set has six sizes, (Unsharpen could) look even more closely inside the handles, the other sizes may be stuck. So ... when I am drawing white dots on a white paper, I dent the paper with the desired size then add a contrasting darker color marker, soft graphite or charcoal surface over the top of the dents. The dents stay white.

Pilot Explorer Ballpoint is no longer manufactured and a rare find nowadays. But you can still find old stock BLRS-7 refills here and there and they should work just fine.

Interesting lot! Orange Rotring is definitely the highlight for me. ('W.Germany' marking makes it pre-1990 if anyone was wondering).

Just viewing your video in Jan 2024 ! But enjoying every minute of your pencils grab bag !

The red/black thing might be a burnishing tool to transfer dry transfer lettering from its film sheet. Or a gestenter tool to scratch lines in the waxed paper used to transfer ink to a page in a printer.

Fun video, I like the Pentel P series pencils. I don't know if you've done a video in the past like this, but I sure would love to see how you store all your collection in their storage containers, etc. that would be cool to see. As always thank you for the fun and informative videos.

The black and red pen looke like an embossing pen. To get relief in paper.

The red/black thing is an embossing tool - you can also use it for making ink dots 😀

Stumbled across your channel looking for reviews and have been watching ever since. Thanks to you I have a new vice and just bought a random lot of pens for $20. It has about $20 worth of pens in one picture, even if they need ink, so I think I did good.

Nice! The lots are harder to find than they used to be but still fun

I remember having Pilot Explorer ballpoints in the 90s, and really liking them, although all of mine were black.

I love the random pen lot videos, always interesting to watch. That Rotring is a great find! Do you have any of the Rotring rollerpoint pens by any chance? Awesome video as always 👌

Also, this can use the Acroball refill of the Pilot Metropolitan Ballpoint, there is anew model that is much nicer.

The no brand pencil is actually from a very old bank. It is a generic pencil from a brand called Piányí dī zhìliàng ("cheap low quality" in Chinese).

I've got an old Mars micro with the grip gone - remember tossing it a long time ago cause it was too stretched out and loose. I'm interested in how you would try to fix it up, I'm stuck with electrical tape for now

@unsharpen Жыл бұрын

Honestly as I look at the condition of the rubber it’s going to need to be replaced with another grip
