    Here I was, thinking that my interest in pencils was starting to fade. Then I saw that my Blackwing subscription had renewed, and I saw this video. Very well done!

    This made me think of the pencil vending machines we had in my elementary school as a kid here in the US. They looked similar to bubblegum machines with a wide mouth. They would load them with pencils that had MLB and Football teams names colors on them. Quarter per pencil.

    The Mirado Black Warrior. I purchased a set back in 2008 for the sole purpose of taking the LSAT exam. I still have a few and didn't realize that so many people loved them.

      I have several that are YEARS old and as yet unused from a quantity bought and equally scattered across the spaces in my life. A great pencil indeed, and at present time sentiment has kept me from putting those few unused to paper.

    Yea, it is very easy to relate to old pencil stubs if used pencils. I always want to keep mine or even those other people want to throw away. I am pretty sure it is not normal and is a psychological disorder of some kind. It gives a false illusion that somehow you are connected to the person who wrote with the pencil before it was a stub, or with the content the pencils created in the text they wrote.

    The brown/maroon stubbie pencil marked Lee Valley is a pencil made for precision woodworkers just like all the tools Lee Valley also make. They used to have a particular lead that could be wetted to change its appearance on dark woods.

    I love Wooden Pencils and have a huge collection of them. I grew up with Wooden Pencils back in the 1990s. I'm more interested in Brand Name Pencils and have least interest in Advertising and Novelty Pencils....it's just My type and preference.

    I have a ton of old pencils. I love pencils. It's hard to find real wood pencils that aren't particle board or 2 halves glued together or wrapped in plastic.. ugh. They jam up your sharpner and you cant stick them in your hair or thru your bun without pulling your hair out! I'm picky as hell about pencils.

    LOL the music in this video as the old beaten and outcast pencils are described makes me think they are compared to human orphans, abandoned senior citizens, or just oppressed people. They are like the old Jews who are telling their grandchildren about how when they were children they escaped through the parted red sea from the pursuing chariots of the Egyptian pharaoh.
