This is a mixed lot with 11 pencils. They are very soft and creamy - much higher quality than most pencils today. These are likely pre-1967 since the company name change in 1967 to Venus-Esterbrook and sold to Faber-Castell in 1973. All include the signature blue band, although one lacks the white top.
Rare edition. I have researched these extensively and have not found another example with the apple illustration on the back of the box.
Condition: All have been sharpened and used. Box shows wear and tear.
