I am offering for sale the Graf von Faber-Castell Desk Set No. 1, probably one of the most extravagant set of pencils ever. It consists of 5 pencils with silver plated eraser tips, a silver plated pencil extender, and a silver plated sharpener. All of that is housed in a black German alderwood case with a polished, silver plated cover.

This set is brand new, it was an impulse purchase and I never got round to using it. Retail on this is $450, and I am asking $285 plus shipping, or make me a reasonable offer. Payment via PayPal is accepted, with no additional fee at this listed price.

I am located in Singapore with plenty of references available.

Hey, I know it's not related to this sale (and it's already gone anyway), but could you please start a thread somewhere and post a picture of that Omas "school" pen with the plated nib? That's something that I don't know if many of us stateside collectors have ever seen.

Oh, and someone buy these pencils! You know that F-C makes a great pencil! (No affiliation, but I figured that since I'd hijacked his thread, I needed to at least try to help!)
