Latest vintage drafting lead finds in
Ebay: couple of
NOS (New old stock) boxes of
Koh-I-Noor 2200-I Ejectomatic with B and 2B leads. Quite a unique packaging with a fairly elaborate design. The box was made in Italy, and the leads were made in Austria.
The B case was in perfect working condition, but the 2B tube had come partially unglued (so the leads were bunching up on the ejection side of the box) and the box sides needed to be secured with a rubber band to flatten it and work properly. Couple of additional Flickr images: photo 1, photo 2, and photo 3.
Koh-I-Noor Graphite Leads 2200 6 new
B leads nestled in a wooden tray inside a cardboard box with brown and blue graphics. Glad I got this box in such a fine shape. Bit of a delicate packaging, my two other samples that had been previously used were partially crushed and tend to be in less pristine condition than other vintage package designs from this period in history.
Eagle Turquoise Vermilion 2376 box of 12. Actually this particular case arrived with a whole
A.W. Faber Castell 9030 5B lead mixed in with the other new 11 red leads, not that I am complaining. Keep an eye out for
NOS offerings that pop up for auction from time to time. I am quite pleased to have been able to add and try drafting items to my sketching collection that I had previously only seen at the
Leadholder Museum.
