Faber-Castell Polychromos 36-Color Set

※Pencil sharpener not included.
This is an older model from over 10 years ago, but please consider it with the following information.

Faber-Castell's Polychromos colored pencils are known for their ability to remain usable without significant changes in lead quality or color payoff, even after decades. Their high-quality pigments and moderate oil content (oil-based) ensure stable quality that is resistant to aging. While oil-based colored pencils are generally resistant to deterioration over time, if the lead becomes slightly brittle due to humidity or dryness, sharpening them again will restore their smooth drawing feel.

Furthermore, color number 147 Light Blue is discontinued and is not included in the current Polychromos sets available on Mercari, making it a rare item.
It is also said that high-quality art supplies gain character with age.

I have attached 5 photos on the 5th image showing swatches of all 36 colors. Although it may be difficult to see, 101 White is placed below 199 Black.

173 Olive Green
126 Dark Carmine
190 Venetian Red
191 Pompeian Red
117 Vermilion

The color payoff for these 5 pencils was poor, but it improved after sharpening. Since they have been sharpened, the lead on these 5 pencils is sharper than in the first photo. Please refer to the 4th photo.

I tested them today for swatching and have decided not to sell them at a lower price.
Instead, I have increased the price. I apologize to those who liked the item before yesterday.
If it does not sell for a long time, I will remove the listing and keep it for myself.
