Kickstarter moved their headquarters to the old Eberhard-Faber factory. Giving a new life to the birthplace of Blackwings.
We owe a lot to both of these organisations and are proud to be part of both #Pencil and #Crowdfunding communities
Makers Cabinet launched Høvel on @Kickstarter in 2017. If we reached our high target we planned to launch a black edition Høvel. We didn’t quite get there but fast forward to now and we are launching it in collaboration with the coolest pencil brand in the world @Blackwing 🧵
Blackwing pencils were first produced by the Eberhard-Faber Co. in Brooklyn, NY. They were highly in demand as the best quality pencils available. The factory ceased production in the 1980s and the factory building became unoccupied.
