150 Design Spectracolor colored pencils. Made in the USA. Artist grade.
The black portfolio easel case is a complete set of 96 colors. The 96 set is extremely rare. The case is in great condition! You can flip the cover over to make it stand. There is Velcro, however the Velcro is not very strong anymore and does not hold strong. The 96 pencils all have a small pink dab of paint on the pencil itself. This was used to identify the owner while they were being used in a class.... The case also has a small owner identification paint mark on the inside. It measures approx 16-1/2" x 10" x 1.5".
There are also 54 loose pencils that are not in a case. This was from another set. There are some duplicates. Each pencil has a small dab of blue paint on the bottoms. This was used to identify the owner while they were being used in a class.
Design Spectracolors were first made by the Venus Pencil Company, formerly the American Pencil Company. I have not seen pencil sets greater than 48.Venus was bought by Faber-Castell in 1973 and in turn by Berol in 1994. With the Faber Castell label, the range of colors was expanded to 96. Spectracolors were discontinued around 1999. Sets of 96 colors are most rare. These pencils are much in demand by artists since they are creamy and thus blend well along with bright colors.
In the 96 case. These are all natural colored wood except for (1446 Peacock Green) which is black colored wood. I do not know if there is any difference besides the color of the wood, but they all appear to be the same.
I took measurements in centimetres (cm) of each pencil to give a rough estimate of each pencil length so the buyer is aware that some of these pencils have been used more than others. A lot of these pencils have not been used too much! These measurements are not 100% exact. I believe a new full size pencil should be around 18.5 cm in length from what I could research, but I am not 100% sure on that.
If you have any questions. Contact me. Please note the measurements. There are a few pencils that have under 10 cm left. Most of the pencils are still above 17 cm though.
I will ship to the lower 48 USA only. No international shipping. Everything will be packed very well and shipped out the same or next business day after I receive a payment.
