Eagle Academic 40
Eagle Baton 39
Eagle/Berol Cavalier 181, 182 and 183
This appears to be a pencil that was only made in Canada. All of them are painted red with a silver imprint. The round pencil is numbered 181 while the 182 is hexagonal. Both of these are untipped. The pencil numbered 183 is hexagonal with an eraser.

Late 1990s Berol Cavalier 183. Note the text just says Berol without the rectangle logo.
Eagle Confetti 90
This pencil came in a package with a trio of colors. The colors in my package are different than the trio of colors in other packages I've seen (my are a lighter shade). Mine also have a silver ferrule vice a brass colored one. Similar to the Eagle Neon 86, this pencil doesn't have the Eagle logo, just the word EAGLE printed on the side.

An well used Eagle Confetti painted a dark shade of red (burgandy?).
Eagle/Berol Express 117 and 118
The 117 is a round pencil while the 118 is hexagonal. The Eagle Express pencils were made in at least four different colours (red, blue, green and yellow). I've only seen yellow painted Berol Express pencils.

Eagle La Belle Province 34
This pencil says "Fabrique a Drummondville" instead of "Made in Canada". This was found mainly on pencils sold in French speaking Quebec. It also has a rarely seen ferrule.

Eagle/ Berol Mirado (and Mikado) 174
The Mirado is the flagship yellow business pencil of the Eagle Pencil Company. These pencils were originally named "Mikado" until World War II when the name was changed to "Mirado". The 172 version has no ferule.
This 1950s or 60s vintage pencil has most of the black ink worn off.
The box of Berol Mirado pencils shown below dates from approximately the 1980s.
In 1991, Berol sold boxes of special 60th anniversary Mirado pencils. These were some of the last Canadian Mirados made as in 1992 Berol ceased Canadian production of pencils.

Berol Newfoundland HB
This pencil has only the name Newfoundland (in italicized capitals) and the grade HB printed on it. This pencil appears to be an inexpensive pencil from the 1990s (perhaps sold in Newfoundland?).
Eagle Popeye 184
Eagle Radiolite 180
This pencil came in 4 different metallic colors: red, blue, green and purple. In Canada they had the number 180 (the same as the earlier Rocket pencil). In the US, the same pencils had the number 85 and a slightly different logo (without the cool lightning bolts!). Probably date to the 1950s to 1960s.
Eagle Regal 37
A number of early pencils had the ※ symbol on it. Almost all of the early Cane's pencils had this symbol but also some early Eagle pencils. While this pencil doesn't have the Eagle name on it, the US version of the Regal had the number 34 for the round version and 35 for the hexagonal version. All had a white eraser like this one. Later versions had the number 168.
Eagle Rocket 84
A vintage pencil from the era of Sputnik (1957), Kennedy's pledge to land a man on the moon (1961) and the Apollo 11 mission to the moon (1969). The Rocket 84 pencil was very similar in style to the Neon 86 pencil, the Roy Rogers 88 pencil, and the Confetti 90 pencil. All came in a variety of colors and are from a similar time period (probably made in the 1950s and 1960s). These pencils were probably popular in Drummondville, Quebec, where they were manufactured, as the local hockey team was named the Drummondville Rockets (after the hockey player, not the pencils) during the 1950's and early 1960's.
Eagle Rocket 180
Eagle Royal 81
This Eagle Royal with a paper ferrule dates to the early 1940s (during World War 2 when metal ferrules were not allowed). The 80 was a round pencil while the 81 was hexagonal. Eagle also made a Royal pencil with the number 115.
Berol Scholar 220 HB
The Scholar name is most commonly associated with Prismacolor "Scholar" colored pencils. Prismalcolor pencils split into Premier, an artist grade color pencil, and Scholar, student grade color pencils probably around the year 2000.
Eagle/Berol Valor 130 and 131
Eagle Valor pencils are a standard yellow writing pencil. It can in both untipped (130) and eraser tipped (131). I've only ever seen Canadian made versions of these pencils. These appear to date from around the mid-1970s when the Letter E logo was used but the company was officially Berol Corp. of Canada.

Berol Grand Prix 228
The Berol Grand Prix pencils were first made in the early 1980s. I don't believe they were ever sold under the Eagle brand. Initially the packages featured pictures of a Formula One race car. This may have been in celebration of the Canadian Grand Prix first held in Montreal in 1978. The pencils came in both yellow and a variety of other colors.

"Neon" colored Grand Prix pencils from the early 1990s.
The two sets below are from the early 1990s. These packages no longer featured the Formula One car image.
