Metal Pencil Boxes Those were the days when wood pencils came by the dozen in a nice metal hinged box. You could keep the pencils inside or use the box for other things when the pencils were gone. Much nicer than the current modern plastic blister-pack packaging!
S731	Metal Pencil Tin with hinged lid is very colorful. A mix of artsy animals in bright primary colors include horses, a dog, cat, white owl, a peacock and rooster with a few flowers thrown in for good measure. Measures 7.75 x 2 inches. Marked on the lower edge of lid: 1979 Shackman NY made in Hong Kong. It is further noted that the pencils and eraser were made in China, but this little pencil box is now empty, so no Chinese pencils or erasers. A little bit of rust on the bottom surface, otherwise very good condition.	$10

I suspect, but do not know for certain, that this large pencil was a display piece - perhaps for window displays or to display with other pencils that were a more normal size.

Even these plainer versions are getting harder to find. Very good condition, just a bit of light wear to silver finish below brass top in an irregular shaped area about 3/8 x 1/2 inch.	$110

Refilling your
Vintage Mechanical Pencils

Most mechanical pencils made before the late 1960s and some even after that are refilled by feeding lead in from the Point End. Those that feed from the barrel (below the eraser) are a fairly modern invention! Don't be fooled by leads in the barrel, in older pencils, that was simply a space to store a few extra leads, but that's it - just storage. As always with vintage writing instruments, exceptions will crop up!

The instruction below are from a Sheaffer package insert, but apply to most older mechanical pencils.

We carry a variety of pencil leads - click here.

Collectible Woodcase Pencils

Wood pencils may very well be the most user friendly writing instrument in the world!

Generally non-toxic, wood pencils are leak-proof, can delete your errors and are not subject to electronic snafus. Not to mention they are inexpensive and easy to acquire. A wood pencil can write on average a line abut 35 miles long - about 45,000 words. A sharpened pencil point can withstand writing pressure of about 3700 pounds of pressure per square inch before breaking off.

Early references to graphite date back to around 1564 when plumbago was discovered by shepherds and used to mark their flocks. In 1779 K.W. Scheele in Sweden discovered that plumbago was a form of carbon and named it graphite. In 1662, Friedrich Staedtler opened a pencil shop in Nurnberg, Germany. Kaspar Faber first commercially produced pencils in 1765 in Stein, Germany by binding graphite with Bavarian clay. Faber Castell continues to make pencils and other writing instruments today. Other early pencil inventors were Corte of France and Hardtmuth of Austria who worked on perfecting the graphite composition. Today, many of the early formulas for graphite are still in use by pencil makers.

MM416	LED Pencil Case - Heavy yellow cardboard giant pencil has a wood point painted to look like a pencil. In fine print on the side it is marked: The "Led" Pencil - Manufactured in USA by the Lederer Co, Adv Novelties, 106 W 32nd St NYC. Measures 11 inches long. I suspect there was once a cap on the barrel end to close it up and store pencils inside, but that piece is no longer with the pencil. Advertising blurb reads: The Most Popular Boys' and Girls' Shop in Central Illinois A. Livingston & Sons Third Floor. Rex wrote his name on the pencil in ink near the 3rd floor! Shows some wear, but still nice and not your average pencil!	$5

MI1182	Vintage pencil holder case for woodcase pencil, ca. 1930s, this is a case people used to put their wood pencil in to make it seem a bit more upscale, plus it would protect the sharpened point of the pencil while you carried it around.

When the pencil gets too down to the very nub, then you just push in a new wood pencil. Measures 4 3/8 inches long closed. Measures up to 8 inches long when posted. Posted length of course will depend on how long your pencil is. A previous owner of this pencil case holder was a “tapper”, there are two dings about in the center of the case where I assume it was tapped against the edge of a desk. Reminder to all – no pen or pencil tapping! We don’t see too many of these and they still are useful for wood pencil users.	$10
MM497	Kings Dominion Souvenir Sliding Pencil Box - This is a souvenir pencil box with brass ruler across the front edge from Kings Dominion amusement park just north of Richmond, Virginia. I'd date it to real early in their history, they opened in 1975 and the attractions painted on the sliding lid were rather short lived: Wacky Races, Coney Island, Old Virginia Line and Blue Ridge Tollway - the Eiffel Tower still stands. The sliding lid opens by putting your pencil through the hole on the right end and moving the lid back and forth, it's early '70s-nifty! Measures 12 in long x 1 7/8 wide, plenty of room for pencils or other writing trinkets. Very good condition.	$15

Pencils are in unused perfect condition. Toot-Toot! (Several available)	$5
PCL-071	Dixon's Eldorado Master Drawing Pencil Set - The mustard yellow tri-fold case for the pencils is pretty cool, but then there is the great cover with a typhoon illustration and Typhonite Eldorado on the cover, none of which is to be outdone by the two panels of Eldorado drawing pencils inside. Originally there were 14 pencils, now only 12 pencils. Wood case Eldorado pencils are hexagonal, yellow and marked with a variety of degrees from 6N to 9H. The set includes: 6B, 5B, 3B and 2 HB. Also 9H, 8H, 7H, 6H, 5H, 3H and 2H. Refresher on the degrees - the more Bs, the darker the lead, the more Hs the lighter the lead. You don't see much over a 2B or 2H these days. There is a velvet cloth that folds over the right hand panel to protect the pencils. The far left hand black velvet panel (back side of cover) is gold foil embossed: Dixon's Eldorado The Master Drawing Pencil. The inside back yellow covered panel is printed: Made in the USA by Joseph Dixon Crucible Company Jersey City, NJ. The cover does show some wear as one would expect as an artist would be frequently opening and closing this case to change pencils. The back spine is starting to split and there are few spots on the front cover illustration, also some paint spots on the back cover, looks like the case may been laid down on some wet paint many years ago. Overall a very nice example of an unusual drawing pencil set.	$45
