A pencil purist’s delight: Palomino Blackwing Pencil Gift Set
Pencil aficionados from John Steinbeck to Thomas Wolfe have sung the praises of the Palomino Blackwing 602 pencil, which was originally created in the 1930s by Eberhard Faber. Many corporate acquisitions later and amid dropoff of pencil enthusiasm, this beloved pencil was discontinued...but not forgotten. Charles Berolzheimer II has brought it back in its original 602 form for devotees and architects, as well as a modified version with a slightly softer, smoother lead for artists.
