J.S. Staedtler Globe-Trotter 933 Vintage Medium Ink Pencil, c. 1920s-1930s

One of the oldest and most historically significant pieces in the Elm Street Pencil Co. catalog. The J.S. Staedtler Globe-Trotter 933 is a medium ink pencil from the interwar period — a time when Staedtler was already a century-old institution in Nuremberg, Germany. Ink pencils of this era were designed to produce water-resistant marks, making them essential tools for field work, correspondence, and official documents. A truly rare survivor.
