Sean spotted this limited edition artist’s impression of the Noris in a mall in Tampa, Florida.
It seems to be part of a limited edition of 50 pieces.
I’d like to thank Sean for showing me this Noris in the wild and for letting me post about it.
Neil Gaiman, a famous British author, has just posted this on his Instagram account.
Nice to see celebrities using the Noris, too.
Thanks to Johnny for letting me know about this.
I have added this to the Noris in the wild page.

Seen in the guardian weekend 27.02.2016.
In my opinion the Guardian is one of the better papers, but they do write odd things every now and then, like the one above or worse [1]Yes, it is a bit funny. At least it’s not offensive, like their Thinking the wurst article, which was rather anti-German, like the stuff you could read in Murdoch’s News of the World … Continue reading.

Well, there are not many blog posts about vintage pencils here, but thanks to Henrik’s comments here’s a quick follow up on the previous blog post and the Mongol.
The Mongol is the pencil that was used for taking notes at the surrender in Reims (ending WWII in Europe), while the Parker 51 was used to sign the actual documents.
If you want to have a closer look at these pencils: Sean has a blog post about the Mongols made in 1944, near the height of U.S. production for the Second World War.
I believe that the use of the image shown in this blog post, falls under “fair dealing” as described by the UK Copyright service.
More Mongols:
Lexikaliker has a nice Mongol ad from the 1920s and on Sola’s blog you can admire some of the Mongol’s great packaging.
…and just earlier this week Jinnie had a look at the Mongol 482
There also more Mongol spotting going on at Orange Crate Art, actually so much that I only picked one to link to. Michael has some great Mongol ads, too. This one is on my wall in the office.
Shaun the Sheep is using a Noris. Who would have thought. Yes, it is a cartoon version of a Noris, but it is unmistakably a Noris. Nice!
I have added these images to the Noris in the Wild page.
This episode is actually from 2012, but I have never seen Shaun the Sheep before, so this blog post is a bit late. I only noticed it because I had a children’s programme on for the little one.
I believe that the use of the image, taken from Episode 10 Bye Bye Barn of Season 3 of Shaun the Sheep, shown in this blog post, falls under “fair dealing” as described by the UK Copyright service.
