This example dates to the mid-1970s, produced during the brief window between Faber-Castell's 1973 acquisition of the Venus brand and the design consolidation of 1978–1980. The pencil displays the hallmark Naturals styling: a clear, transparent barrel revealing the raw wood grain beneath, paired with a  metal ferrule that secures the original pink eraser. The \"Faber-Castell\" and \"Venus\" names appear together on the barrel—a marker of post-1973 production and authentic American manufacture. Condition reflects age and use consistent with a working pencil from this period. A fine example of mid-1970s American pencil heritage and the brief Venus-Faber-Castell collaboration before corporate consolidation ended the line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elm Street Pencil Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53559859183979,"sku":null,"price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/0806\/0523\/files\/IMG-0571.heic?v=1784229067","url":"https:\/\/elmstreetpencilco.com\/products\/faber-castell-venus-naturals-vintage-no-2-pencil-c-1970s","provider":"Elm Street Pencil Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
