Good morning all. I am always happy to be able to offer art supplies, and I have some forthcoming this week, including some nice quality long artists brushes and a set of Talens Rembrandt soft pastels.
Here this morning is this vintage Pentel, Made in Japan, WF-25 water color set, with 24 of the original 25 small metal tubes, in the original box.
Seventeen of the tubes (the first 3 rows, shown in pictures 3 - 5, but not including the long tube of white at the right of the 3rd picture) are nicely soft, and many of them may never have been used.
The long tube of white, and the 3 tubes on the left in the 6th picture, are pretty hard. The 3 tubes on the right in the 6th picture are rock hard. The Prussian Blue (far right) was clearly used. The other 2 seem full, just hard.
The box is okay, not special. All of the corners are intact, and it did its job protecting the paint.
