A Blackwing sighting

[From Death in Small Doses (dir. Joseph M. Newman, 1957). Click for a much larger view.]

Peter Graves is an undercover agent posing as a truck driver; Merry Anders is a waitress. The Blackwing is a pencil. Click and look at the ferrule: that’s an Eberhard Faber Blackwing for sure.

  1. Gosh, I have a Blackwing--I didn't realized they were so classic. That sideways ferrule & eraser. It's great to draw with!

  2. I’m guessing you have a Palomino? That’s the 21st-century version. The Eberhard Faber Blackwing was long ago discontinued.

  3. I’ll add “Eberhard Faber” to the post for clarity.
