Important Note on the Link: This unlisted link will remain active from now until late Sunday night (June 28th) when I schedule the final release before heading to bed. Once scheduled, the link will temporarily go dark until the video officially publishes early Monday morning (June 29th).
A huge, special thanks goes out to @lsd300 for his incredible contributions to this project. This video wouldn’t be what it is without him generously sharing pictures of some of the rarest Fugle items around. I really appreciate the help, man!
Like many of us, I was originally drawn into collecting mechanical pencils by all the fascinating engineering and “gadgetry”—sliding sleeves, automatic feed mechanisms, Kuru Toga engines, twist erasers, and the like. But lately, I’ve really enjoyed stepping back to appreciate the simpler aspects of our hobby, perfectly exemplified by lead holders. They have earned a firm, permanent spot in my collection, and out of all the holders I own, I think these Fugle pieces are the ones I love the most.
Check out the video and let me know what you think!
I look forward to watching this collaboration when I get back. I’m also a big leadholder fan, but thus far (and thus far is quite a long way) haven’t managed to obtain a single Fugle specimen.
A.W. Faber/Emca was not only competing for the Lead Pointer, but Emca also had a Lead Holder called the Nylo Grip (shown here with their later Lead Pointer - I wish I owned this).
