VINTAGE MONGOL COLORED PENCIL SET

Gotta give mad props to RAHstr, Billy Thompson, always lookin’ out for us! Hooked us up with a vintage Mongol colored pencil set he scored at a garage sale.


RAD AND HUNGRY Vintage Mongol Pencil Set

The super dope Mongol pencil case with it’s fabric and snap closure folds out into a triangle.

RAD AND HUNGRY Vintage Mongol Pencil Set

Open the baby up and it reveals mostly Mongol colored pencils, a Reliance Pencil Co 1229 and Eberhard Faber Colorbrite 2125! 


RAD AND HUNGRY Vintage Mongol Pencil Set

Finding Mongols stamped with Eberhard Faber is totally amazing cause they’re no longer produced for the US market. Despite mergers and buyouts the Mongol pencil still lives on. They’re sold in Latin American countries from Papermate. How stoked were we to score ‘em for our STMT X Costa Rica Kit?!!
