ARCHIVIST'S NOTES
Introduced around 1991-92 and made in Germany, the Faber-Castell 1117 is an inexpensive hexagonal graphite pencil for everyday writing, drawing and sketching. Its leads use Faber-Castell's SV (secural) bonding process to resist breakage, and the FSC-certified barrel is finished in an eco-friendly water-based varnish. The standard pencil is offered in several grades (H, HB, B, 2B) and there is also a separate eraser-tipped version fitted with a metal ferrule.
This specimen: 1117 in grade HB.
