FABER CASTELL CASTELL 9000 PENCIL TIN CASE IN 1908
파버카스텔 1908년 카스텔 9000 케이스
Castell 9000, one of the most famous pencils in the history, was first made in 1905, and has been made for more than a century.
During that long history, there have been countless variations of Castell 9000s, including several special editions.
You can find many different versions of Castell 9000 pencils here.
The tin case of Castell 9000 is famous for its symbol of two fighting knights.
However, it seems there were no knights when it was first made.
I don't know this tin case had been used since when to when.
Still, I know this was used in 1908.
Since one of the official Faber Castell account said that, the information is quite trustworthy.
Instead of two fighting knights, two pencils are crossing over, and there is a figure of the Castell castle.
The inside is also distinct and unique compared to other tin cases.
One of the most eye-catching feature is its gold color.
Since you might be interested in what is written there, I provide a more clear photo.
This one explains the superior durability and quality of Castell 9000 pencils, and its range of hardness degree (from 6B to 8H).
The gold colored interior is very intriguing.
I guess the inside would have been like this.
The paper insert I put here is one of the earliest versions, but I'm not confident of what was inside exactly.
Since this case looks so special, I wonder for what purpose this was made.
Could this be some kind of special edition?
