Osmia / Faber-Castell 883 & 189

By geoff Published May 17, 2017 A.W. Faber-Castell, Flex, Germany, Mechanical Pencil, Osmia, Piston Filler, Vintage

This set is dated 3.9.57 as was therefore probably made in the 1950’s. The 883 fountain pen has a Fine nib with a nice flex and a clean ink window, and is in very good condition. The 189 pencil uses 1.18 mm leads – it looks good, but it’s currently not working – so that one’s on the shelf as a future project…
