The Lobby 161206

The Pencil done, let's see what else they have here.


First, a backgrounder on Faber-Castell. It goes all the way back to 1761 when Herr Faber pencil-ed in his presence somewhere near Nuernberg, Deutschland. Pls click image for better read.


Global presence, impressive indeed. Apparently this Malaysian plant only does the pens and erasers. Pencils are made in Brazil, Indonesia and China. I guess you make them where you find the wood.
