It was founded in 1790 by Joseph Hardtmuth of Austria. In 1802, the company patented the first pencil lead made from a combination of kaolin and graphite.\u003cp\u003e In 1848, Joseph's sons, Karl and Ludwig, took over the family business, and the production was relocated to the Bohemian town of Budweis, which belongs now to the Czech Republic.  The products were given awards in many world exhibitions, including in  1855 in New York City, 1856, 1900 and 1925 in Paris, 1862 in London,  1882 in Vienna and 1905 in Milan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e At the 1889 World Fair in Paris, the Hardtmuth's displayed their pencils rebranded as \"Koh-I-Noor Hardtmuth\". Each pencil was encased in a yellow cedar-wood barrel. The inspiration for the name was the famous Koh-i-Noor diamond (Persian for \"Mountain of Light\"), part of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom, and the largest diamond in the world at the time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e  Postage and Packing :\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e  The item will be sent by airmail from The Czech Republic. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Please allow 3-4 days delivery time to Europe and up to 7 days worldwide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003ctable width=\"60%\" border=\"1\" align=\"center\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd width=\"74%\"\u003eEnamel Pin Badge(s)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd width=\"26%\" align=\"right\"\u003e$5.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e  Warranty Terms :\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eThis pin is in the condition described above and as photographed. \u003cbr\u003eIf you are in any way dissatisfied I will happily discuss any problems you have via email.
