I'm showing today 3 stubby German mechanical pencils. From top to bottom, they were made by Johann Faber, Kaweco, and Montblanc. The Faber and Montblanc are octagonally sided. The Kaweco is hexagonal. The Montblanc is marked with a model number 46 and features oversize diameter leads. The Faber and Kaweco take the smaller standard diameter leads of the day. All are 3 3/16 inches to 3 11/16 inches in length. The pencils were produced from the late 1920s into the early 1940s. They range in length from 3 3/16 inches to 3 11/16 inches. All 3 companies continue to be major players in the writing instrument market to this day.
