## Description

From the manufacturer About Faber-Castell Faber-Castell was established in 1761 by the cabinet maker Kaspar Faber, it is one of the oldest industrial companies in the world. The company is one of the world’s leading manufacturer of wood-cased pencils with a varied range of products for writing, drawing and creative design, as well as decorative cosmetics. Faber-Castell is renowned for its high quality, innovative products, commitment to tradition, and environmental awareness. Lothar von Faber took over the family business in 1839. He is remembered, in particular, as a pioneer of the branded article who in creating his own brand name set a new standard. Today the eighth generation family member Count Anton-Wolfgang von Faber-Castell, who took over as head of the company in 1978, has been instrumental in new product development and the expansion of international activities. Count Faber-Castell takes delight in rediscovering products from the past and recreating them with timeless design and modern technology. Castell 9000 Art Tin of 6 Castell 9000 is a genuinely classic pencil and was launched by Count Alexander von Faber-Castell in 1905. The Castell 9000 is available in 16 different degrees of hardness, making it the ideal pencil for all technical and artistic applications. Castell 9000 The Castell 9000 Pencil's quality and finely graduated degrees of hardness have made it a firm favourite with artists and illustrators. Its lead is fully bonded with the wood surround and is therefore particularly break-resistant. Castell 9000 Pencil's are ideally suited for drawing in the field of industrial design or fine detail drawings and they have an environmentally safe water-based coating. Ideal as a Gift The Art Tin contains 6 of Faber-Castell's Castell 9000 pencils in hardness grades HB, B, 2B, 4B, 6B and 8B.
