This uniquely colored, durable complastic lead Mongol pencil is special. Mongol produced a very limited supply of wine red, green, dark blue, and black Mongol 482 pencils intending to test the market for colors. But they changed their mind and never marketed these color variations. Pencil Things, Inc. has purchased the entire small supply and is pleased to offer it exclusively through its Web store at PencilThings.com.
The yellow version of this pencil once was the #1 best selling pencil in the world. No wonder. The #2 HB lead writes distinctly and smoothly. It sharpens well, stays sharper longer, and breaks less often because of the patented complastic lead. The yellow Mongol #2 HB was the signature pencil of the world famous Eberhard Faber Pencil Company.
The yellow Mongol was the first pencil made with the now-ubiquitous yellow barrel -- which was then, and is now for Mongol pencils -- a reliable visual signal of a high quality writing pencil. Teachers once required the #2 HB Mongol, by name, to be in every school kid's pencil box. Eberhard Faber proudly proclaimed it to be "The Business Pencil of the World."
Surprisingly, the Mongol pencil was rationalized away and US production ceased when the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company was purchased by a multi-product conglomerate.
But Pencil Things, Inc. found it being produced offshore with the same materials, methodolgy, and -- very important to pencil aficionados -- Mongol's trademark colored ferrule, with shiney black ends surrounding a brass center!
We're proud to offer one of history's finest woodclinched pencils in a special color: black. It is topped with the excellent slate-pink eraser Eberhard Faber made famous.
These pencils stand alone as fine writing pencils. But think of the additional pleasure you will have when you again write with a bit of American history.
The gross quantity (144) school discount price is available to everyone! Even when ordered in large quantities, our low fixed-rate shipping fee applies for shipments to US addresses - an additional significant savings!
