Not every pencil was a #2.
Before standardized school supplies became the norm, manufacturers offered a wider range of graphite grades for writing, drafting, bookkeeping, and drawing. This assortment celebrates those less-common survivors.
Each order includes twelve (12) vintage yellow wood pencils in non-#2 grades such as #1, #3, and other uncommon hardnesses as available. Pencils are dealer's choice and may include a variety of manufacturers, ferrule styles, eraser colors, and imprint designs.
These pencils have been previously used, so lengths vary from nearly full to comfortably well-loved—but every pencil included remains usable.
Perfect for:
- Artists and sketchers
- Vintage office & school supply collectors
- Writers and journal enthusiasts
- Classroom history displays
- Creative studios and prop collections
- Anyone who appreciates everyday tools with a story
You'll receive:
- 12 vintage yellow wood pencils
- Only non-#2 grades
- Mixed manufacturers and grades
- Previously used; lengths vary
- Packaged in reused and recyclable materials whenever possible
As with all vintage items, minor wear, age, and manufacturing variations are part of their history and character.

This is climate-competent commerce, and we talk a bit more about each of these strategies on our 'official' shipping policy page:
-
Proactive Satisfaction + Refunds
Refund policyWe have adopted a 'generally generous' approach to fulfilling many of our product listings, as sending a wee bit extra can avoid costly errors & 'fix it' shipments (besides, we find most folks appreciate the occasional freebie).
.
That said, if you would prefer to avoid the extras, we will gladly rightsize or downsize your order on request (product price would remain the same because more labor + less product = wash). If you prefer this option, please include a detailed order note to specify the quantity you wish to recieve (i.e. 'please send precise count of 7 for XYZ product').
.
As a rule, we discourage returns - but we also don't abide crappy customer experiences. To initiate issue resolution in the event that we miss the boat with your order (gaps happen!), head to our refund policy page (linked here - and at the bottom of any page) to get started.
