The pictures online weren’t the best, of this one anyway. I knew it was a large and impressive pencil, but what I was hoping for, and what it turned out to be, was a pencil with an angled top.  Does this look familiar? Remember the Colorgraphs I wrote about here back on December 8? Here is the new find posed next to those other two . . .
