Pencils, eh
A virtual museum of the golden age of the Canadian pencil industry.
Vintage school supply catalogues can provide some great information about pencils produced and sold in Canada. Here are the pencil pages from a couple of Canadian school supply catalogues.

Stationery companies often gave out ink blotters which contain advertisements for products they sold. Some these advertisements are for pencils. I have shared some photos of ink blotters in the past. Below are three ink blotters from the Hay Stationery Company of London, Ontario. The Hay Stationery Company was at 331 Richmond Street in London, Ontario in the early 1950s. I found a postcard printed by the company from 1939. It appears that this company was around until the early 2000s when they closed.
