From a 1972 episode of Columbo: Roddy McDowall can be seen with an Eberhard Faber Blackwing 602, as he tried to get one over on Peter Falk and company. (Spoiler alert: he didn’t succeed.)

Thanks to reader Dan for the tip!

From a 1969 episode of “Mission: Impossible”, it seems four Eberhard Faber Blackwing pencils can be seen at the top of the frame (from underneath a glass table).

Honorable mention goes to the pencil crossing the tie of Peter Graves (right), which might just be a Castell 9000 — peace and harmony across the Faberland.

Thanks to reader Al for the tip!

The local DMV from the show Perfect Strangers seems to have preferred Eberhard Faber Blackwing pencils:

But, is anyone else concerned that all of the paperwork was being filled out in pencil?

Composer Oliver Wallace (1887-1963) is seen using an Eberhard Faber Blackwing in a Disney film from 1956. His task is to compose a song for Daisy Duck. You can just about see the pencil’s logo here:
