ARCHIVIST'S NOTES
The Pentel Tuff is a wood-cased graphite pencil (model CB6, with "HI-QUALITY" stamped on the barrel) made in Japan and sold across a range of grades from the writing-hard H to the soft, sketch-friendly 4B. Reviewers describe it as writing smoothly and holding a sharp point, with the H grade laying down a line about as dark as most mainstream HB pencils; the pencil has no ferrule or eraser. Pentel's wood-cased pencils are now discontinued, last appearing in the company's 2009 catalogue and uncommon among collectors today.
This specimen: Tuff Pencil in grade 4B.
