These are great! I REALLY love the Faber Castell tin. Wonderful quality art and office supplies. I still have a FC pencil - just a non-mechanical wooden pencil I bought in Paris about 30 years ago. I put it away because I found it too perfect, too beautiful to use. FC has consistently produced goods of the highest quality, and I love this firm. I'd be jealous of your tin, I would, except that I'm so happy that you found this!
