A selection from the 1965-66 Blackwing campaign launched by Eberhard Faber Inc.
The campaign was the brainchild of Julia Faber, widow of Eberhard Faber III (1893-1945), who became vice president of the company and later a chairman. It marks one of the relatively few times that the company advertised the Blackwing directly (i.e. compared to the Mongol or Van Dyke, etc.).
This SO feels like an Instagram post of its day: “How would YOU use one of these little Blackwing stubs? Post it to Instagram with the hashtag #BlackwingStub” and we’lll send you a full-length Blackwing FREE!”

Watching “RBG” documentary about U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I noticed she was writing with a Blackwing!

Great!
I can’t remember the last time I heard someone say ”king-size” (the association, for me, is with cigarettes).
