wtf?  What a mess!  Putting aside the ridiculous filth, it literally
looks like some 5th grade science experiment made with trash found on
the ground near a Radio Shack dumpster in the 1970s.

Wow, that brings back some memories.

To be fair, it could have been cribbed from the early 1980s; need to
carbon-date that mechanical pencil in the front right corner.  <g>

 Looks like a Pentel 0.5 mm.  I also like my Pentels, but in 0.7 mm.

They were a godsend in that one didn't have to sharpen them like one had to do with the old style 1/8" mechanical pencils.  I probably have a few of both of them still around, lingering in a drawer someplace, along with the rest of my drafting supplies.  I had a box of french curves out on a shelf in the garage, but I think I gave them away to a coworker's niece who was going into arts, along with a couple hundred ink nibs.
