I’m not sure how a German language pencil catalogue landed at a “Sears” store in Canada, but so be it. This is Faber-Castell’s catalogue for their children’s line.
Here are a few interesting things I noticed:
* Several varieties/extensions of the “Grip” line – including a compass, and several colour pencil sets.
* A Jumbo Grip variant with colour chalk cores that can be used on a chalkboard!
* A nice kit including a fountain pen, pencil, tub of plasticine, and other fun items.
* New sharpeners and erasers.
* A new “Perfect Pencil” version priced at 2.95 Euros. That’s much better than the existing green plastic version, though the clip appears to have become plastic. (Have any of our readers in Europe seen one yet?)
* A red fabric foldable pencil case/box.
hey PT Admin,
I was just wondering if you’re ever heard of the Faber Castell Velvet Drawing 880 pencil? They’re good pencils, what’s interesting about them is that they’re yellow like school pencils. They’re F grade graphite with U.S.A and CVF imprinted on them. I bought two of them at a local office store a few years ago.
