Leadhead's Lead

At the Ohio Show this year, I decided to do something a little different.   I had an old Sheaffer lead display and I had recently come across a large stash of NOS Eagle and Faber-Castell leads, so I decided to load up the display, put sample leads with varying hardnesses into some pencils and let people try them out.  Here's what the display looked like . . .
