Pencils, eh
A virtual museum of the golden age of the Canadian pencil industry.
 Mongol pencils were made by Eberhard Faber (Canada) Ltd at their factory in Acton Vale, Quebec (at 1100 Bernard St.). Most of these pencils were most likely made in the early-1960s to mid-1970s. The Eberhard Faber factory in Acton was acquired by Dixon Ticonderoga in 1978.  LogosI have pencils with both the EF logo and the diamond star logo. The EF logo appears to have been registered in Canada in 1965. The diamond star logo is older and registered in 1921 and in use in the US even earlier.  I have one pencil, shown below, that is stamped "Gouvernement du Quebec."

What about the Mongols made by Faber Castell, which in my opinion were even better made quality. I have both and differences are obvious.

I have not tried the Faber Castel Mongols. But I have vintage Venus Velvet, vintage and made by Faber. The Faber ones are so bad in comparison. Interesting about how quality is not consistent through the years....and by different manufacturers. Leave a Reply. |
