 The Graf-von-Faber-Castell Walden Woods Pen
We are proud to announce the availability of the limited edition Graf-von-Faber-Castell Walden Woods roller-ball pen. A generous percentage of sales proceeds from this exquisite collector’s item will be donated by Faber-Castell to the Walden Woods Project and will also enable American Forests to plant a tree for each pen sold.
The Walden Woods pen is limited to a quantity of 2006 and retails for $600. Each pen, meticulously crafted in wood and platinum, is individually numbered and features one of Thoreau’s most popular quotations replicated on the barrel of the pen in Thoreau’s handwriting style. The barrel is made from historic ash wood that was salvaged from naturally fallen trees in Walden Woods.
The Walden Woods pen honors the legacy of Thoreau, one of America’s greatest writers and thinkers while helping to support the conservation of the land that inspired him. There is an interesting connection between Thoreau and writing instruments. The Thoreau family operated a highly successful pencil business in downtown Concord for which their son, Henry, helped develop a new, non-smearing, graphite pencil. The Walden Woods Project has a well-preserved set of Thoreau pencils in its Collections on display at the Thoreau Institute.
You will further support the Walden Woods Project by purchasing the Walden Woods pen directly from our organization by calling 781-259-4700 or emailing us at wwproject@walden.org.
