Geoffrey Bell The best pencils. I still have my tin of them, although a little worse for wear.

Anita Brussovs I can remember these pencils. they were good

Robert Fay Lemon Griffin I had a big tin of them.They were the best.

Sue Lyon Fantastic memories.

Clare Pierson I was given a big box of thinner ones than these with a drawing of the Lake District in Cumberland picture on the box. Bought at King's Bookshop in Hokitika. That was over 60 years ago and I still have them - much shorter than originally of course! Always wanted to visit there and did a few years ago. My great grandfather emigrated from there with his parents.

Dave Trowbridge these are still new

Linda Skelton To get brighter colours we used to lick them... in the days before vivid or felts.

Dianne Blythe They were the best pencils you could get

Jillene Magee Sure were, I had these and they were in a tin.

Bernard Hempseed I think the full range was 72 colours. Years ago in England I visited the museum of the factory where these were made. Its in the Lake district - somewhere around Kendall from memory.

Jenny Leach great colouring pencils
