Castell 9007 5H

Brand: A.W. Faber

Made in: USA

The Occupation-Era Ferrules (Mid-to-Late 1940s)
This hard-to-find, long-ferrule Castell pencil was manufactured in the American Zone of Germany immediately following World War II, placing its production window in the mid-to-late 1940s.
Interestingly, its distinctive elongated ferrule—the specialized metal sleeve used to secure the eraser—was not exclusive to Faber-Castell. Because localized postwar factories shared components and materials during Allied reconstruction, this identical hardware can also be found on other iconic pencils of the exact same era, including early Staedtler Mars-Lumograph 2390 models and Winner Techni-Tone pencils.

The US American occupation zone in Germany managed its zone starting in July 1945 after the German surrender American occupation zone in Germany. Direct military control ended on September 21, 1949 American occupation zone in Germany, with the creation of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) American occupation zone in Germany.

About A.W. Faber

The company was originally established in 1761 when a carpenter by the name of Kaspar Faber (1730-1784) opened a small pencil factory in Stein, Germany. The business was called “A.W. Faber” after his son, Anton Wilhelm Faber (1758-1819), who grew the company into a flourishing pencil manufacturer. In 1900, an heiress to the Faber fortune (granddaughter of Lothar Faber) married a count of Castell and the newly united A.W. Faber-Castell soon began producing a high-quality line of “Castell” drawing and copying pencils. The company has its headquarters in Stein to this day, now operating under the name Faber-Castell with 8,000 employees worldwide.
