Whoa, I didn't expect these two interests to intersect--I love the Collins Kids, and I love vintage pencils. I actually managed to find an original 7" of the song "Whistle Bait," one of the highlights of my collection. Now I need the pencil.

if you want to use 64 GB microsd card you must partition it to fat32. use rufus to do partition.

Great review.

They have 0.5mm down here on the island of Mauritius. They don't have the 0.7mm and 0.9mm in our stores here. You write in Shakespearian style?

I'm going to have to agree, that newsprint is not the best medium for pencil testing. It turns every graphite grade into H and above. I purchased a jumbo pencil to try it out, and in my limited experience I see no real difference in performance between jumbos and normals. Though I haven't even managed to wear out the point from my first sharpening. I swear that pencil has the best point retention I've ever seen.

Doesn't the slightly raised edge hurt the facing page?

My favorite time of year for school supplies! Back to school!!

I love them!

Tyler pipe is great, but also apparently are infamous for being one of the deadliest jobs out here

Being easily amused, I was riveted.

I was always in awe of those who had trapper-keepers

Hi MAMO - I'm so glad you reviewed these! I saw these at my WalMart and didn't pick them up, but I thought maybe I would the next time I was there. I don't ever recall P+G offering a jumbo pencil like this before, so I was curious how it would perform, especially against the large Ticonderoga. Now I know! Thanks for comparing them!

Since I told you about this pencil, I found that the ferrule fell off of mine! I ended up scraping the paint off of it using an X-Acto Knife and now use it as Workshop pencil in addition to my Bare-Wood Try-Rex (Glad they have those now). On normal notebook paper, I found the Pen+Gear to be smoother and darker than a My First Ticonderoga.

Thanks for posting the vid. I got a D-219, wasn't aware there were different MW versions. Mine is the 10 kHz model, going up to 1710. I think the D-219 is great on MW, decent on FM and SW. Sometimes clipping maybe 10 feet of wire to the whip will help bring in more SW stations.

I have randomly jotted down things for a while, trying now to be more organized and using certain books for certain topics. On a random note, thanks to a used bookstore I now have a copy of Henry Petroski's book on the pencil. My eagerness over a book about pencils has me thoroughly wondering what indeed has happened to my mind.

Never heard of the concept, but certainly something I've done at times in limited ways. Certainly there must be some wisdom deep beneath your graying beard!

6:54 What is your preferred translation today?

Lovely! I really appreciate the use of common place books. I have been doing something like it my whole life, but the added structure and unique purpose of the common book place trend. Thank you for the video. That kindle showed up very well.

Excellent review. I love the 0.9mm BIC Mechanical pencils.

Ah, good neighbor, another modestly superb video. It may please you to know that this very day the Great South American River is bringing me not one but twelve pencils! However, over the years I have had many commonplace books and journals, and I always seem to lose them. Or, if I don't lose them, a hurricane or tornado or fire will do them in. So, lately, I have been journaling and commonplacing with a Kindle Scribe, which is not always next to my coffe on my desk, but whose (anthopomophising an inanimate object?) entries are available to me on my phone or tablet anywhere. That doesn;t make any entries I have made any wiser, in fact, I find that keeping a journal has reminded me of what a slow learner I am, despite how my beard greys and grows, but of how slow I am in dealing with the same annoiyance. The Kindle, however, because it is a fairly pricely little plastic slab, keeeps me, as you say, using the tools I've got. So now I guess I will make a note about how delightfully the morning's reading from Wisdom and the Office Hymn for Sundays fit together. Thanks for the reflection.

Well done! I love the observations you made about this special artifact of someone’s faith. Thanks for another fun video!

Ssb...yes. i have a vbfo. And inject the signal near by. And ssb is a extra for my radio and ten tec vbfo.was my best choise😊😊.

It's a good radio. I have one under the Kalmeda name. It has a soft plastic screen. Be careful it scratches easy.

I have to get

Great video showing both watches side by side comparison. Thank you for posting

a manual in 10 languages

If it was printed by Norwood Printing, it had to be on or after 1927. Are you willing to sell this version? I’m a Gideon, and I’m trying to build an archive of various print versions. Thank you!

I like pencil Wednesdays.

"Zippered pouch in the trapper keeper", man your speaking to my heart. Great case and sharpener.

You could tape the label to the underside of the lid.

WOW! That Airways pencil set case is the coolest! I could see that especially appealing to young lads who had dreams of being pilots, captains or engineers. You stocked it beautifully. I also use those plastic pencil cases for sorting and storing pencils, erasers and other treasures. I like the clear ones best, too. A couple of years ago after the school supply season was over and they were making way for all the Halloween stuff, WalMart had them reduced to 25 cents - except all they had were pink ones. Being one that has never been threatened by pink - I bought 20 of them. They have added a lot of fun color to the shelves! Thanks, MAMO!

Lovely case, pencils, and, and, and...just everything! Vintage graphics are the best :) Thanks for showing these.

I like Skmei because I have big hands... I can't use small watches

Pinning for the 80s again… Yes of course! You bet. The 80s was a happier place to live in ❤ who all agrees with me? Don’t be shy just hit like. 👍

I have a lot of old missals and I’ve never seen the Holy Week Missal. I do have many from the Precious Blood. Catholics use Missals to follow the Mass because it was in Latin. Some missals have Latin and English translations. I do have a favorite Missal but I have many versions.

Good review video - yep cameras always are in the way when yo are trying to demonstrate something! 😂

My dad picked up six dozen of these Venus patriots semester pencils in a yard sale many years ago and I just stumbled across them in my garage! Now to figure out what to do with them!

funny - i just got this at a thrift store lol

Got one hpe to get new manual orignal was chinese. I find mine. Work well. Tks

The ACNA is made up of different kind of Anglicans, including Anglo-Catholics. The Saint Bernard Breviary is an Anglo-Catholic prayer book. There are some traditional 39 Articles Anglicans who don't like the ACNA for that reason. What came to my mind watching this video (which I sadly missed two months ago when it first appeared) is that the same problem exists among Muslim sects. 12er Shi'ite Muslims ask Muhammad, his daughter Fatima Az-Zahra, her husband Ali Abu Talib (who was Muhammad's cousin), and their progeny to the 12th Imam to pray for them because Fatima, Ali Abu Talib, the 1st Imam, and the other 11 Imams to pray for them. The idea is not that these 14 pure ones can answer prayers, because as creatures they cannot. However, Fatima and Ali Ibn Talib were martyred, while the next 10 Imams were martyred by the Caliphs of the Umayyads and Abbasids, who all Shi'ites believed hijacked Islam and converted the State into an Empire. All but one Sufi lineage accept up to 8 of the 12er Shi'ite Imams as spiritual leaders in their lineages, despite most of them following Sunni Muslim schools of Shariah. In fact, 12er Shi'ite Muslims can ask John the Baptist, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Peter, and Saint James the Just, to pray for them, because they believe John the Baptist was a Prophet, the Virgin Mary is like Fatima Zahra, and Prophet / Messenger Jesus had 12 Imams, the first two being Simon Peter and James the Just. It is the same with Prophet / Messenger Moses and Prophet / Messenger Ishmael. Traditionally, most Orthodox Sunnis who were not Sufis still accepted Sufis as Muslims, and eventually tolerated the 12er sect of Shi'ite Muslims. However, hardline Sunnis and Fundamentalists believe Shi'ite Muslims and Sufis are outside Islam. This is why you hear about Shi'ite Mosques being bombed by al-Qaeda and other fundamentalists. I love the Psalms of David, as well as many Canticles in both Testaments, and I read the Bible. That accounts for my attraction to the Book of Common Prayer and Breviary collecting. Shi'ite Muslims have the equivalent of Canticles and Commemoration of Saints, as do Sufis. There are even Shi'ite traditions of Muslims asking 6th Imam why an Eastern Catholic priest was able to heal sick people. The 6th Imam states that the priest had a relic of a Saint and that Saint asked God to heal those sick people. Thus, Shi'ite Muslims are the Catholic / Orthodox of the Muslims, while Sunnis are the Protestants. Shi'ite Muslims are only 10% of all Muslims, however. Too much information, perhaps. However, the parallels are striking.

How could it be weather proof when they cant even spell "Write" correctly?

Scripto is one of my favorite mechanical pencils alongside Paper Mate of course. I have been burned buying paper mates and Parkers on the e store. What I learned is counterfeits are made because these are popular brands and bring attention and money. As I stated in another post, you can claim to almost me an expert and see new ones all the time because Scripto not only made pencils that we all know but you see ones that are legit from other countries, ones that were made exclusively for advertising, /salesmen samples, and retail in the US. So, if you are like me, when you see something like that as a collector, you will buy it. I would 100% say that they are fake. I have some of those Scriptos made for the US Government and I have off white and black, and I have only seen them in Primary colors. Here are some more giveaways: 1 that looks like PVC plastic, 2: the imprint is different, not to mention the Word Scripto is off center, 3: Vintage Scripts are a little weighty 4: The eraser is obviously a joke, and 5: the clip is not metal or affixed. When I go on that site I laugh and cry. Look up vintage paper mate. People are selling them for outrageous amounts. I blame all of this drama on resellers!

I see this item every time I go to Lowe’s for supplies for work.

Pentel has a 2B 1.3 MM lead which I found after I put the Rite in the Rain on my Wish List on amazon! I presume that the 2B Pentel would write (or rite) quite closely to the lead in these

I like this design, it's like the Pentel GraphGear 500's cousin that juggles tyres for his day job. Lots of heft so you can feel it through gloves, and a wide lead core to offset the strong force you'll inevitably handle this with both because of the lack of tact from wearing gloves as well as the muscle fatigue from working on a tough job site interfering with fine motor control. The wide point means that hard force is applied over a large area, so less risk of ripping through the paper you're writing on, especially if said paper is wet. When you review the NicPro set, test its graphite against this one like you did with the Papermate!

Thank you for this. It had me at Yellow! :) I enjoy yellow products and this looks like a solid item worth checking out.

The weight of a box of reg..wow. I thought at first not so dark until you compared to the other one. Maybe you covered this at one time? Q : why are pencils mostly yellow? Don't always understand but do enjoy the videos. have a great day.

This was fun! I rarely come across a Mallard pencil so it was fun to see examples here. I didn't realize how many of the Wallace names tended to be "battle" based. I wonder who named them and what the rationale was...probably an interesting story. Wallace & Mallard sounds like a fancy old-time New York department store. Thanks, MAMO!

I absolutely see the beauty and it saddens me that everything sold today is generic and over produced.

It's a Prime Day deal, just bought one for <$8 shipped. Mostly I wanted a cheap portable FM radio, but will have to mess around with SW too.
