Vintage find: J.S. Staedtler Mars Lumograph 2886 HB & 4H pencil tins

Just got a couple of vintage tins filled with 2886 J.S. Staedtler Mars Lumograph HB & 4H wooden graphite pencils in an Ebay auction lot.
Curiously the 4H pencils labeled "2886 J.S. Staedtler Mars Lumograph Germany" on one side were also labeled with "2818 Frederick Post Company" on the opposite side of the barrel. Thus looks like Staedtler would do custom imprints for its major distributors back in the 1940s and 1950s, so there might also be some Staedtler pencils to be found with "Keuffel & Esser" or "Dietzgen" imprinted on their barrels.
Sample marks on Flexi-Sketch book.
Paper insert wrapped around the pencils. The pencils came all mixed up in the 3 tins of this auction lot, but I was pleasantly surprised to find I had actually received 12 unsharpened HB pencils, 10 factory-sharpened 4H pencils, and 8 unsharpened K3 pencils for drawing on film along with an Eagle 410 Turquoise Film eraser.
Manufacturers really knew how to properly package and present a dozen of fine drawing pencils in the years following World War II, pity such standards can seldom be found in local stationery and office supplies stores these days. The main modern pencil manufacturers that I know still use similar premium packaging to display their finest graphite pencils would be Tombow and Mitsubishi Uni.
Sample doodles drawn on Flexi-Sketch book with the modern version the Staedtler Mars Lumograph Art. Nr. 100-HB and the vintage 2886 HB pencil. The look and reliability of this drawing pencil might not have changed much for decades, but I definitely prefer the logo and packaging used over half a century ago. The slender golden pencil tins decorated with the head of the Roman god of war, Mars, make for a much more interesting case for a custom compact sketching kit.While the former seemed a tad darker than the original version, both performed well and would make a fine addition to a sketching kit. Recommended.
Update: Just got another 2830 JS Staedtler Mars Lumograph Duralar tin in pristine condition. You would be hard pressed to find a better looking pencil box across time, so I would highly recommend to keep an eye out for them.
