Vintage pencil tin or metal pen case that is great to store office supplies in, & to use on your desk to keep your pens or small clips. I use mine to store pens in my handbag & color pencils when I travel. Also works great for sewing notions, crochet hooks & shorter knitting needles. They are of three different brands. Here is a bit of their history. Mars Staedtler is in white & gold with the beautiful blue logo with the head of Mars, the god of war in ancient Roman religion. The company was founded by J.S.Staedtler in 1835 but one of his ancestors, Friedrich Staedtler, worked as a ‘pencil-making craftsman’ as early as 1662. The electric one I haven’t been able to find any information on. This listing is for one pencil tin. Please choose from the menu. Each tin measures app. 7 1/4 inches/ 18 cm in length 2 1/4 inches/ 5,5 cm in width They are in good vintage condition. The tins are hinged & closes fine. They do have marks, inside & out, from use through the years. I find it charming that the doodles from earlier owners can still be seen. Please take a look at the photos.
