Old Pencils Plus

 
Posted by Picasa
Here is one of the largest finds of great old pencils to ever hit our door down in the supply room. There is something like 65 pencils plus 5 boxes. Pencils for the most part are Faber Castell. A partial list includes FC 9000,FC 9000 with lead imported from American Zone Germany, FC 828 green. There are four others pencils that state FC 9000 but have a different design. FC 827 blue,FC 1443 red, Eberhard Faber 6535 indigo and 1 Venus. Most seem to be Faber Castell 9000s HB and Fine. Of the 4 tins 2 are made in New Jersey, 1 is made in Nurnberg Germany, one with the flowers can not read but appears to be made overseas. Cardboard box was empty but has nice graphics. May have a give away on some of these fine old pencils. Add them all to your collection. Just a update. It looks like these pencils are from the 40s to the 60s.

  1. Nice haul. Enjoy them in good health. Pencils from that era perform just fine. Actually they beat any dime a dozen pencil currently in the market.
