The name STAEDTLER is closely linked with Nurembergs pencil history. Long before J.S. Staedtler founded his pencil making factory within Nurembergs old city walls back in 1835, the STAEDTLER family had been hand-making this well-loved writing instrument for generations already.
In fact, the roots can be traced back to 1662 - the year in which first references to Friedrich Staedtler as a pencil-making craftsman were made in the city annals. |
Where does the term lead pencil come from? |
In the middle of 16th century a previously unkown material that shone like lead ore was discovered in the far north of England.
This innovation became misleadingly known as the "lead" pencil. |
This rare, and therefore rather expensive, graphite was mixed with sulphur and clay (later with synthetics too). |
