I Hear They Also Made Pens

Joe Nemecek brought a number of things for me to photograph at the DC Show. One of them I borrowed to bring home for some quality time.

This pristine example of a Carter’s "Coraltex" (that’s Carter’s name for it) ringtop pencil is in a really unusual purple color, and the graphics on the box are just beautiful.
