Made in: Japan
T.P.M.A. is Tokyo Pencil Manufacturer Association. The association made its own pencils for many small manufacturers. The biggest wholesaler Koichido used Pigeon brand in 1958 according to an old stationary magazine. Thanks for the information Akinobu.
I call these “Quazi” brands because I’m not 100% certain which company actually made them. Sometimes the pencils are stamped with a stationery store or maybe even the name of someone famous. But my hunch is they were produced by another company. If you have more information about any of these vintage pencils I would love to know!
