Today is a very exciting day for the Harvey Mercheum, because today I am posting the first “unified” exhibit. By this, I mean that it will be posted here, to Facebook, and to Jigidi at the same time!
Back to school got rather confused this year with the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), but I think we can all agree that school has started by now if it is going to. That means celebrating the Harvey Mercheum way, with a pencil case! Today we have another of the Casper pencil cases we saw back in September of 2018, with the Apollo 16 artwork, but this time in yellow:

What was really exciting about this pencil case was that it came with the remains of the display box it was sold from! I was really hoping to have the box professionally restored before I exhibited it, but the cost is prohibitive. Since display boxes would not be sold to the public, I am featuring it here instead of as an exhibit:
