Staedtler Rules!



OK, so slightly misleading title. I'm not going to talk about rulers per se, but this is going to be a short series on one of my favorite writing instrument companies.

Others have done a much better job recording company history etc, so I'll keep my posts about products.

First up, some pens that I own! Lumocolor permanent markers.


UNIMOG in USA no more.


This is old news, but I had to confirm the why's and wherefore's myself. So no more of Albert Friedrich's farm vehicle for North America. Daimler AG cited EPA07 emission requirements as the reason for the demise.

Introduction

This blog is an outlet for my passion. I was not born in Germany, and I've never lived there. For as long as I can remember, however, I've loved all things Teutonic. Now I'd like to share that interest. That's it really!
