A.W. FABER 150TH ANNIVERSARY BOOKLET (1911)
A.W. FABER 150주년 책자
As I have remarked several times, A.W. FABER met its monumental 150th anniversary in 1911 and produced Castell 9000 tin case and 150th anniversary pencil with its tin case to celebrate this historic event.
As the world's first pencil company, it was the first pencil maker reached the 150th birthday.
A.W. FABER published this booklet for the same purpose.
It's well visible from the photo that this is adorned with shining and luxurious gold colors.
The family's symbol is also printed.
The next page looks like this, but I can't figure out the meaning clearly.
My conjecture is A.W. FABER wanted to say its brand is beloved in all continents (of course, except for the Antarctic Continent.)
Nevertheless, it's another problem that whether A.W. FABER really exported its pens even to the Africa and Australia in 1911.
I once posted this page.
Here we see the 150th anniversary pencil with its tin case.
This page illustrated the tin case with the drawings of Alexander and Ottilie, but there existed other versions too.
Since the font is an old-fashioned, albeit it's not easy to identify some words, it tells the price of the anniversary pencil and copying pencil together with the tin case.
The last page shows Castell 9000 pencil with its tin case and Castell 9022 lead holder.
Like other pages, this page decorated with gold and silver colors too.
This again makes harder to read, but it seems to say something more than the price since the names of Alexander and Ottilie appear.
As far as I know, these are all for the 150th anniversary!
150th anniversary pencil with its tin case, Castell 9000 with its tincase (also enclosed a red leaflet in four different languages), and this booklet that I'm posting here.
It's impressive I'm collecting the memories of 1911 in 2025.
