is especially true in the Vacumatic &#8220;51&#8221; colors, such as the grays and cordovans.\u00a0 In addition, the earlier pencils were made out of celluloid instead of lucite.\u00a0 The pencils will discolor to a darker shade than the pens, to the point that they no longer appear as a matched set.\u00a0 This can become very pronounced in the grays, which will almost turn a translucent green and the cedar blues which can turn nearly black.\u00a0 Celluloid plastic will also become brittle over time and will tend to crack if stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"680\"
