One of my earliest collections started in the second grade when I began saving pencils. I loved ‘em and it seemed I couldn’t collect enough of ‘em.
My mind must’ve blown up when I received my Star Wars fan club packet of goodies all related to the Empire Strikes Back. The coolest thing in the lot was the pencil! As seen above, I still have two original pencils from my youth.

I still think it's a great pencil.
But what would your grammar school math instructor say if you used a rebel pencil?
Cheers!

I remember very well back in 1980 receiving my Star Wars Fan Club membership kit in the mail, with those same pencils (along with some 8 x 10s, a patch and other stuff all inside a cardboard poster tube).
