Viarco Vintage 'Copia Violeta' Pencil Set - Box of 12

Box of 12 classic No.272D copy pencils; the violet dyed graphite core was originally produced to make hand written documents 'easily' copied. The process involved laying a moist thin paper over the original and pressing the two together with a mechanical press, so a copy is transferred.

Part of Viarco's Vintage Collection, which includes many re-issued pencils first made in the 1940s - 1960s. If the packaging alone doesn't sway you, rest assured, they're also lovely to use!

Manufactured in what is 'probably, the smallest pencil factory in the world' according to the information in the box!
