Over a hundred years later, Tombow is still a family-owned company and still dedicated to innovating creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTombow introduced their first drawing pencil in 1928, becoming known for pencils of intense quality suitable for professional and artistic use. The Mono R (R for regular) was released after the introduction and subsequent popularity of the Mono 100, a super high-grade pencil commemorating the company's 55th anniversary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat distinguished (and still does) Tombow's high-end pencils is their high-density graphite which allows a smooth, dark line when drawing or writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Vintage Mono R pencils date to 1975, available in either HB grade (gold band,) similar to a No. 2 pencil, or F (white band) a harder, finer graphite grade.
