These Soviet pencils are two original, unopened factory-tied packs of black graphite pencils, 100 Kosmos and 100 Start, 200 pieces in total. They were made at the Slovyansk Pencil Factory "Samotsvity" in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, one of the major pencil producers of the USSR, which is now closed. Both packs are new old stock, never used.

About This Piece
