I would be loathe to use these, as they are just so beautiful, exactly as found, lined up in neat rows inside their plain cardboard box. I love the printed insert, too, describing them as "Poster Crayons for Free Expression" what could be better? and I believe what's here are one each of the 18 colors listed, produced by Standard Crayon Mfg., Danvers, MA, just a stone's throw away from me.
