Castell A Copier Tendre 9111

Brand: A.W. Faber

Made in: Germany

Rare French market Castell A Copier Tendre 9111 is available for purchase. Translates to soft copy.

  • The Quotation Mark Rule: A reliable quirk of 1930s Faber-Castell German production is that the brand name "Castell" was printed inside explicit quotation marks on the pencils and catalog listings between roughly 1930 and 1938. If your pencil reads A.W. FABER "CASTELL", it anchors it strictly to this window. 
  • Market Distribution: Catalogs distributed by Faber-Castell's European and French branches from 1932 to 1936 specifically feature the A Copier Tendre branding alongside their standard German counterparts (Tintenstift Weich) to cater to international export markets. 
  • Top of the gallery picture shows the reverse of the Feinster & Bester Tintentstift circa 1907-1911.

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.
