You grab a blackwing 602 pencil to take a phone message, and then realize, with dread, that it is probably an irreplaceable antique now and after a search that yes, it is discontinued and is now a collector's item.

I can't begin to think of where I've experienced this feeling before...;-)

Regards,

Bill

(Actually, what is a "blackwing 602 pencil"? I'll have to do a Google search.)

Hi Paul!

What do you tink of this thread:

I thought of you and your ability to open up pioneers....

Blackwing is my favorite pencil. I had boxes of them but I am afraid I am down to my last box :-(
