I discovered this triangular pencil amongst my other pencils. It is an oddity, and I have no idea whence it came. The word "hardware" is written on one side), KINGDONS on a second, and Andover 65005 (an old form of telephone number if it's a UK one) on the third.
So, it appears to advertise a hardware shop called Kingdons, located in Andover, Hampshire. The shop name is not coming up on a Google search, which suggests that it closed down or was taken over years ago.
I have no idea how this pencil came to be in my house! I have only been to Hampshire once within the last 40 years, and I would not have picked up this pencil there. Nobody who has visited my house in the past 30 years has spent time in Hampshire, as far as I know. All I know is that it must date from the 1970s at latest to have the telephone number written like that.
Or, maybe there's a pencil fairy...
