It's a colorful stall, that's for sure. Does he make the pencils there? I can't read the writing in the photos but it looks like there are no prices (I don't see any numbers). Can someone who is able to read this chime in?

I don’t think he made the pencils, but he has a huge collection apparently from the basic ones to some ancient ones. I searched a bit online and I couldn’t find any online shop or price samples for the store. This is their instagram page, but not sure if it adds any more information: https://instagram.com/medad_rafi https://instagram.com/medad_rafi

  There is a 0 missing in the picture. In another photo[1] it says "2500 Toman" which is about $0.10 USD [1] https://media.ana.press/old/1399/09/24/637435501254726240_lg.JPG https://media.ana.press/old/1399/09/24/637435501254726240_lg...

I put a translation in another comment. I don't think he makes them, or at least there's nothing that suggests that in the text. He's more of a collector.
