Went Car Booting this very morning and found a Leather Effect case full of Stationery

Various bits and bobs, including: Bic Pins, staedtler markers, Olfa Rotary cutter & spare blade and 9 packs of Pentel 0.5mm lead refills

Also got some Royal Sovereign Chinagraph Pencils......????
what are they all about then, does anybody on here use them ???

so would like to have a nice pencil to try these leads out, any recommendations ?

Chinagraph pencils are great markers Steve will draw on most surfaces and are permanent. I use them a lot are great only problem is they do not stand up to rough treatment just like a normal pencil I suppose

Well - chinagraph isn't permanent on glazed china or glass... it rubs off quite easily - often used to be used to put prices or identifying marks on plates/glass before the days of the ubiquitous price sticker or barcode.

Uni Kuru Toga is my pencil of choice.

It rotates the lead every time you put it to the paper which stops it getting a chissel point.

Nice haul.
As said above, Chinagraphs are very useful for marking things that you usually can't mark. I have a couple on my desk. The younger engineers don't use them, but they are always asking for new marker pens as they have ruined theirs. Yet when I suggest a chinagraph they just don't listen.

I struggled to find chinagraph pencils when I wanted one (for marking MPH on my KPH only speedo). They are sometimes referred to as map pencils - they can be used on the plasticy OS maps and removed easily. Nobody in any of the outdoors type shops knew what I was on about and specialist stationers weren't too clued up either!

Art shops art the best for them. I would argue about the easy to remove part I still have the number I wrote on a car dash with one a year ago present

Easy to remove using the correct cleaning product And the London Graphic Centre had quite a few.

Unfortunately I was unable to liberate one from work since one of our systems has been moved to computers from paper with perspex covers

Always rubbed off with a dry piece of paper when I used to use them.
