Slick was somewhat evil---he was the merchant of Jumanji, always looking to make a deal (esp. of the dishonest sort).

Jumanji... I recall seeing trailers for the 1995 movie on TV, but (as of writing) I've not yet seen the movie, though I'd intended to (on VHS, of course).
Of course, I never got around to it---other films and so forth just seemed more worth my while. And now, that 'Jumanji' has been remade, watching either movie would only make feel older than I already do. :p

Pencil...

The featured pencil is a miracle---yes, InkBunny, miracles really do happen, and one is taking place within the wooden barrel of this miraculous pencil!

So what's the gimmick behind this pencil?

...Nothing, really, but there are things to say about it.

First, this is a long-ferruled pencil, meaning it was made in the early part of the 20th century.
Second, this pencil (despite not being marked as such) was made by The American Lead Pencil Co ...so this (technically) is a 'Venus' pencil.
This particular specimen boasts an ad for J.H. Teasdale Commission Co.
Next, this specimen is a salesman's sample (why I chose to feature this one with J.H. Slick should now be obvious).
This pencil was advertising a real business, but would have been used by an APC representative as a sample for clients (which explains the 'Miracle Pencil' and the 'Chroma Bonded' stamping).

Last, this pencil is a 'miracle' ...read on. :3

As mentioned, the point end of this pencil has a stamp in gold paint that reads,

"Chrome Bonded
U.S. Pat. 1985894"

Of course I researched the patent. ;)

The odd thing to me is the patent written on this long-ferruled pencil was published in 1935, which is several years or more after long-ferruled pencils supposedly went out of fashion.

HYPOTHETICALWATCHER: "You don't know a damn thing about pencils"

To paraphrase the apostle Paul, "I give to you what I was given".

That is, I read and I repeat---I've 'added nothing to' my research. :3

Fact is, I've been through some PDFs of 1930s pencil catalogs, and there are no long-ferruled pencils to be found therein---wide ferrules and Blackwings, yes, but no long ones.

EXAMPLE: https://archive.org/details/EberhardFaberPocketCatalog1...

I've also read a great deal from other sources (esp. Bob Truby, the people of  Pencillarium, CW Pencil, etc). I do admit, however, there exist contradictions in pencil research (pencils are very mysterious!). :P

As for the 'J.H. Teasdale Commission Co' this pencil advertises, I found nothing about it written past the late 1920s.

Anyway ...I have not (and will likely never) experience the miracle of this pencil firsthand. However, I did experience the wonders of a WWII-era 'Swift' pencil from Wallace Pencil Co.
