Bob Truby is passionate about pencils:
As both an art teacher and a pencil collector, I desire this site to be a visual encounter with the incredibly diverse world of brand name pencils. I hope you will be amazed at the sheer number of pencil brands once produced in the USA and abroad. Sadly those days are over and the craftsmanship, skill and pride once put into the ordinary pencil is but a thing of the past.
His amazing collection contains 134 brands, including the French Baignol & Farjon brand, which is represented with 16 pencils.
