These are Stockmar crayons from Germany. They don't feel sticky, the colors are beautiful, and they are safe and harmless, so you can give them to your children with peace of mind. I bought these when I was stationed in Germany. I am selling them as part of a decluttering effort, as they have been stored at home. The tips of the crayons are slightly worn from use, but none are broken. Also, the wrapping paper of each color is slightly stained with color transfer. As shown in the fifth photo, there is a small dent on one of the brown crayons. There are no problems with their use. If you understand, please consider using them.
