Swiss Fixpencil Stamp The image at left shows the stamp at the same scale as the pencils on Leadholder.

Below is a detail shot.

Despite my philatelic ignorance, I assert with George-W-Bush-like blind conviction that this is the first and only stamp to ever depict a leadholder. Hold on. Make that because of my ignorance. That would be much more George-like. Too bad there is no plainly obvious evidence contradicting my belief that I could ignore. That would be much, much more George-like.
