36 Linear Inches of Vintage Colored Pencils • Mixed Brands • Great for Art, Journaling & Craft Projects

A colored pencil is still a perfectly good colored pencil.

In fact, many of these have already proven themselves. They’ve illustrated homework, sketched ideas in the margins of notebooks, colored maps, labeled projects, and quietly spent years waiting in desk drawers, studio jars, and classroom cupboards before finding their way here.

This listing includes 36 linear inches of vintage colored pencils thoughtfully gathered from secondhand sources and curated for another creative life.

Expect a wide range of colors, manufacturers, ages, and degrees of use. Every assortment includes at least a rainbow’s worth of color variation, with pencils measuring a minimum of 3 inches (7.6 cm) in length. Anything shorter simply rides along as bonus material.

Whether you’re filling a studio cup, building a classroom supply, assembling a prop collection, creating collage or mixed-media artwork, or simply appreciate the character of well-made vintage tools, these pencils are ready to get back to work.

No two assortments are exactly alike—that’s part of the fun.

Every product in the Junket shop is sourced secondhand.

Not because old things are inherently better, but because useful things don’t become useless simply because someone is finished with them.

Keeping existing materials in circulation reduces demand for new manufacturing, gives remarkable objects a longer working life, and reminds us that creativity doesn’t always begin with something brand new.

Thanks for helping write the next chapter.
