This pencil was used by my son when he took the entrance exams for junior high school. I received it from my cousin, who is a year older and passed the entrance exam for a prestigious national junior high school. My son also passed all of his private junior high school entrance exams. It's considered lucky, so I'm offering it for sale hoping someone else will take it and continue the good fortune. It's from about 4 years ago, but it's still usable. Please ask if you have any questions.
