With a few mechanical pencil lead refills laying around, it is great to finally get them organized and in one place. It’s a bonus that the organizer is an attractive vintage Caran d’Ache retail lead display.
It has many signs of age and wear, and I’ve tried to preserve the box while cleaning it up.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any Caran d’Ache refills! I’ll have to try and find some – I hear they’re good.
A great score!
You can get Caran d’Ache 3mm. HB leads from Lee Valley, six for $ 18.00. They also sell the Fixpencil leadholder for $ 27.50.
Congratulations on such a great find. The last Caran D’Ache leads I got were from Montgomery Pens: https://www.montgomerypens.com/search_results.asp?collection=Caran%20dAche%20Refills
They have the Caran d’Ache Technograph Leads -in 1.18, 2, and 3 mm listed at the bottom of that page.
Thank you for the comments and recommendations. The 1.18mm leads are very exciting to know about!
http://www.wetpaintart.com has the Fixpencils3 at $22 and lead refills [6] for $14.50 3B or 6B.
Great deal on a great pencil… I have mine since Architectural school in the 80’s in Argentina… Recently working in a project at a house, I left it there, and went missing. They couldn’t find it anywhere!!… Finally last week [after 2.5 months!!] at another meeting, I walked into the Kitchen and saw my pencil.. I was thrilled!!!
Nice story, Fernando, I’m glad you were reunited!
