The Pencil in the Iron Mask
Although this one wasn't the pencil I was looking at in that fuzzy ebay picture of a whole mess of pencils, when it arrived I had to give this one a closer look. The pencil itself is pretty unremarkable -- just your typical, unmarked late 1940s or so pencil. But that clip!
