What is the value of a 1950's Koh I Noor rapidograph?
More information needed-=Rapidograph what/ The Koh I Noor ( named after the famous diamond, and itself meaning ( Mountain of Light)- Noor, current Queen of Jordan might be translated Lucy- as that also means light. anyhow they were a big outfit and made a large variety of precision instruments and drawing instruments. Originally French,. just a few weeks ago I picked up a Koh-I-Noor French Curve that was marked- Denmark, maybe a branch factory. they are still in business but no longer make Slide-rules. even the Army Corps of Engineers phased them out in I believe l973, no longer an issue item. last Army issue models were picketts and Posts ( both appropriate titles!). I would need more information they made Slide rules and also drawing instruments, still make the latter category. a good ( marque) Koh-i-Noor instruments were used on the drawing board- literally for the Concorde and on the navigation decks of French submarines. Good quality stuff.
Is Cretacolor a good brand for art supplies?
Yes, as a art brand, Cretacolor nails it without a doubt! (They are an Austrian brand, Vienna and that says something, we all know that Vienna is the throne of European art and culture, just saying lol) I have a Blackbox set from Cretacolor and it's just amazing quality and investment overall if that's the point that you are catching. Mostly I use their graphite pencils and charcoal in pencil. I also adore KIN (Koh-I-Noor that's a Czech brand) in combination with the Creta's they are godly! Talking about quality, both brands are promising and the products are durable. If you like drawing with charcoal in pen, I would also recommend the Giaconda Negro from KIN. As I said before, both brands are good, you can't miss with the quality. Most people on Youtube that made a name for themselves draw with Cretacolor, ofcourse they use different brands but I always catch one Creta. Hope that I helped you a little. Drawing is abstract for everyone and as people are different and have many tastes in everything, so must we look into ourselves and find what we like. Sorry if I wrote something incorrect cause English isn't my native language you know. All best to you and good luck with drawing! :)
