Talking Finders keepers, losers weepers!!
Another rare find at work today,,,1/30/12!

I'm apologizing in advance and I promise to make this my last carpenter pencil find post

I just couldn't help wanting to share this rare pencil(s) find with all of you.

Once in a lifetime find??? Maybe!?!

Not sure what to call this thing,,,A cache of two???

I'm pretty certain a drywall hanger dropped and lost this gem,,,It was found at the drywall clean-up stage of home construction...

How clever to take two exhausted pencils and create one bi-sharpened pencil.....

ENJOY

Dang man, some people have all the luck. It looks like it 'fits the hand' well too.

Amazing Find! I love that material! I can almost picture the ancients marking off the finishing cut to their latest tepee!

Hahaha... Well these posts are VERY one sided anyways. You never include pics of the "wood and lead spokeshave".

Lucky Ba$tard Neralich, you find all the prime artifacts!!!!!

I actually have been known to tape exhausted pencils together to get that little bit more of use from them.. looks weird, works great...

I too am fond of the carpenter pencil! Thanks for sharing. Looks like typical hunting grounds.
