Hello Kitty Local Souvenir Mechanical Pencils Set of 5 * Kobe * Okinawa * Kaga Hyakumangoku (Kaga Province) * Miyajima * Awaji These are likely from 2004-2007. They were used back then, so they show some signs of wear. I tested them, and they work without any problems. They will be protected with cushioning material for shipping. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about condition.
