The local DMV from the show Perfect Strangers seems to have preferred Eberhard Faber Blackwing pencils:

But the employees weren’t the only ones to use them: it looks like they were made available to everyone.

But, is anyone else concerned that all of the paperwork was being filled out in pencil?

Thanks to reader Al for the tip!

Composer Oliver Wallace (1887-1963) is seen using an Eberhard Faber Blackwing in a Disney film from 1956. His task is to compose a song for Daisy Duck. You can just about see the pencil’s logo here:

However, Donald seems to take exception at this:

advertising, Eberhard Faber, Eberhard Faber Blackwing, Eberhard Faber Company

A selection from the 1965-66 Blackwing campaign launched by Eberhard Faber Inc.

The campaign was the brainchild of Julia Faber, widow of Eberhard Faber III (1893-1945), who became vice president of the company and later a chairman. It marks one of the relatively few times that the company advertised the Blackwing directly (i.e. compared to the Mongol or Van Dyke, etc.).
