pencil collector Emilio Arenas from Uruguay shows new pencils he'll buy from German pencilmaker Faber-Castell on Tuesday. He holds the Guinness World record in collecting pencils.
“At my home I have a Faber-Castell pencil I bought from an antique dealer that must be from 1890 or 1895,” he says.
First, Faber-Castell started using water-based, environmentally friendly paints in the 1990s.
As for the future, Count Faber-Castell still sees scope for further refinement.
