Next year Staetdler will release “nostalgic metal tins” as a limited edition. There will be tins for the Mars Lumograph, the Noris and the Tradition (yes, this time with an upper case “T”).
I assume that that only the tins have the nostalgic look and that the pencils inside will have the modern look.
Fantastic! I hope I will be able to buy some before they are gone. Getting this years 1835-2010 set was difficult enough.
Great! Real tins this time, not cardboard tubes.
I love the new, er, old tins…a tin of “Traditions” (sic) would be excellent. Or Mars. Or Noris. (Getting all three would be too indulgent, though.)
I probably wouldn’t bother with the 175th Anniversary set, though. It didn’t seem special enough, to be honest. A good job from my perspective that it was so hard to buy – was it only available in Germany?
Thank you for sharing this information. “While stocks last” suggests that one should buy early – not that I needed persuasion. 😉
