The front cover looks something like this. Tombow pencil is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2013, and it seems that there are written reasons why 100 years will continue to be loved.


The thickness is about 3 cm.


Of course, magazines are also the main, but what is it like? And first of all, the special appendixOLNO SWIFT / Orno Swift, I tried to check the three-piece set of the original reprint version Tonboso, MONO eraser.


85 years ago, the original reprint version packaged in 1928 was a calm olive color. The dragonfly mark is a retro combination with salmonish shades.


The total length is about 18 cm.


A dragonfly mark is drawn on the package currently on saleTonbos pencil 8900When compared with the size, although the size does not change, you can also see that the package is completely different. However, the base version of the current version was also made in 1948, so this is also a retro impression.


From the side, the letter "SUPERIOR QUALITY" in the reprinted version was changed to "High Quality" in the current version. Also the design has become quite elaborate.


Compared to the current version, the reprint version is quite flat.


On the back side of the reprint edition there is a character of "excellent domestic production", it is pretty simple.


The contents of the reprint edition comes in three pieces.


There were a total of 12 pencils in the current version.


The state of looking at the pencil from the side is almost the same. The hardness of the reprinted version is HB, the current highest grade pencil "Item 100It is said that it adopts the same thing as ". Also, the axis also uses the same North American incense cedar as the 100 th.


The content is a reprint version that is similar to MONO 100, but the pencil design at that time is similar to Tombow Pencil 8900 from MONO 100, and the reprinted version is more green so the golden logo marks well.


Subsequently, when comparing the reprint MONO eraser and the current MONO eraser, the package was changing. The reprint version uses a light blue color, and the logo mark is also slightly different.


Looking from the side like this.


The eraser itself also contained a logo.


And the third appendix is ​​a mechanical pen released in the spring of 2013Orno Swift(630 yen including tax) "


Because it is a Tonbos pencil complete book limited model, the letter representing the 100th anniversary is written.


Orno Swift is not only not only centering out at the tail end knock but also pushing around the three lines concerning grip, it is characterized by being able to bend the core of the pencil itself.


The core is 0.5 mm, it uses a metal base, it is a stable writing comfort with low center of gravity.


After enjoying the appendix, turning over the page of the magazine, Tombo pencilShinjo factory of production baseA state of being made with was introduced.


The core of the just-made pencil is soft and seems to bend.


I explained the details of the transition of Tombo Pencil 8900 that was released in 1948 to this extent that it is still this. Detailed parts from the touch of characters to the printing method are gradually changing.


Magazine advertisements made in the Showa era and leaflets for distribution are all retro.


Not only pencils but also MONO eraser list of current products, corrected tape list and so on are listed, and it is surprising that "There was such a product ......" in the MONO eraser which I have not seen before.


More gather eraser,Monodust catch,Mononondust,Mono PEThere are also figures that erase the mono series, etc. mapped with the amount of scum / comfortable, etc., it is convenient if you know it.


The price is 945 yen including tax. Even Orno Swift alone is 630 yen including tax, so I can get a retro reprint version, and I definitely recommend stationery like lovers because there are magazines like scaffolding factories and stationery that I did not know until now.
