Here is a picture of some new/old pencils I picked up recently for my black pencil collection (click for a larger view). I'm not sure why I like black pencils so much (maybe it is because they look good with my Moleskines), but I always have my eye out for something different to add to my Pencils in Black collection. I wanted to post a nice autumnal picture with fall colors (even though there is half a foot of snow on the ground at the moment!) and this image fit the purpose as a Halloween image as well, with the nice orange and black color combination.

The full wording on the pencil (for you pencil enthusiasts) reads: , Made in U.S.A., L. & C. Hardtmuth Inc., Koh-I-Thin, * 666*, No.3. I thought the choice of numbering for this specific pencil "666" just adds to the mood for Halloween - the Devil's own pencil!
