UP FOR sale IS A VERY UNUSUAL EBERHARD FABER FIND
THIS sale IS FOR A FULL BOX OF TWELVE DOZEN (144 / FULL GROSS)
VINTAGE EBERHARD FABER #1111 TIGER SCHOOL No.2 PENCILS
I LIVE VERY CLOSE TO WHERE THE PENNSYLVANIA EBERHARD FABER FACTORY USED TO EXIST
AND I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SOURCE VINTAGE EBERHARD FABER PRODUCTS FROM
LONG CLOSED BUSINESSES THAT USED TO SELL THEIR PRODUCTS
AS WELL AS DIRECT DESCENDENTS OF EBERHARD FABER EMPLOYEES
THESE PENCILS ARE GENUINE VINTAGE EBERHARD FABER TIGER #2 SCHOOL PENCILS HOWEVER THEY HAVE NO MARKING OF THE PRODUCT NAME, STYLE OR GRADE
THEY WERE REFERRED TO AS "BLANKS" WHICH WERE SOLD UNMARKED FOR AT LEAST A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT REASONS (AS I WAS TOLD)
1. THEY COULD BE CUSTOMIZED BY BUSINESSES POST PRODUCTION WITH COMPANY NAMES AND OTHER ADVERTISING DETAILS
2. THEY WERE SOLD TO BUYERS OF LARGE QUANTITIES OF PENCILS (MOSTLY LOCAL SCHOOLS AND LARGER OFFICES THAT USED A LOT OF PENCILS) AND WERE OFFERED AT A DISCOUNTED BULK UNMARKED RATE
THESE ARE STILL FIRST QUALITY #2 PENCILS AND THE ERASERS ARE STILL PLIABLE. THEY MIGHT NOT BE QUITE AS SOFT AS THEY WERE 50+ YEARS AGO BUT THEY HAVE DEFINITELY NOT DRIED OUT AND ARE STILL VERY USEABLE
IM OFFERING THESE AT A PRICE THAT IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE USUAL "PER PENCIL" PRICE FOR
THEY ARE A GRAPHITE PENCIL WITH A SHINY YELLOW BARREL
GOLD FERRULE AND PINK ERASER TIP
THESE MIGHT BE BEST FOR THOSE WHO USE PENCILS FOR WRITING/DRAWING ETC
AS OPPOSED TO COLLECTORS WHO SEARCH FOR SPECIFIC MARKED/EMBOSSED STYLES TO DISPLAY
MADE IN THE USA
EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY NEW OLD STOCK AND WAS NEVER USED OR SHARPENED
I WILL BE OFFERING THESE IN YELLOW, BLUE, GOLD, SILVER, GREEN, WHITE, AND "CLEAR"/WOODGRAIN COLOR BARREL (CASING) AND ALL HAVE A CLEAR COAT POLISH SO PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER sales
AS I COMBINE SHIPPING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE OUTER BOXES HAVE WEAR, STAINS AND MAY HAVE CORNER TEARS BUT THE PENCILS
ARE UNBLEMISHED. FOR THE MOST PART I HAD TO OPEN SEALED/TAPED BOXES FOR THE FIRST TIME TO TAKE THE PHOTOS
MOST BOXES HAVE THE COLOR WRITTEN ON THE BOX SIDE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY WERE SHIPPED IN BOXES THAT DIDN'T SPECIFY COLOR ORIGINALLY
AT THE TIME OF LISTING TWO BOXES FOR SALE AND OFFER A DISCOUNT IF YOU BUY BOTH TOGETHER
IM ALSO LISTING OTHER MANY OTHER VINTAGE EBERHARD FABER (AND OTHER BRAND) ITEMS!!
