Brand: L&C Hardtmuth
Made in: Austria
Top model in the gallery picture is a 100 year old near First Edition of this classic. The rare lefty Austrian made Koh-I-Noor is very scarce now. Nice variety of others. NOTE: The super clean Czecho over Slovakia model is available either unsharpened(top) or factory sharpened(bottom). Just let me know please.

L&C Hardtmuth was formed in 1790 by Josef Hardtmuth in Vienna, Austria. In 1802 he patented the first pencil lead made from a combination of clay and graphite, and in 1848 the company was moved to the city of Budweis in what is today the Czech Republic. In 1888 they introduced the KOH-I-NOOR pencil, named after the largest known diamond in the world at that time. Today the company operates under the name KOH-I-NOOR HARDTMUTH.
