Originally, since 1909, it had been sold as a "post office pencil".?This pencil with its blue and red pencil top (and the respective lead up to its middle) is ideal for notes, corrections and annotations. Due to its diameter, you will need a pencil sharpener for thick colored pencils (like the brass double sharpener or the Dux dual pencil sharpener from our range).

The history of the renowned pencil manufacturer Koh-i-Noor dates back to the 18th century. Throughout the world, Koh-i-Noor became known through the innovative invention of Joseph Hardtmuth, who in 1792 developed a novel method for pressing and baking pencil leads - mines did not have to be cut from the solid stone any longer. This innovative ability has been preserved at Koh-i-Noor to this day.
