Gosh, thank you for that info about the Needham Heights, MA #. I may try it tomorrow.
But it concerns me a bit with the last name and "importer".....only because I was badly burned ($130 worth) about 5 years ago over a special lamp I ordered and had to return, similar info on the company, lost the refund over it. I've been really careful ordering on line/by phone since.
I really appreciate all those that are looking for these for me. I am very aware of and have tried all the other brands of pencils that have been mentioned and they are not quite what I want.
Hugs,
Jan in VA
