The journey started in Quebec and went all across the country. (There was also a side trip to Washington, D.C.) They travelled by train, plane, car and ship and covered an estimated 15,000 miles.

I highly recommend the National Film Board of Canada documentary titled Royal Journey. The film documents the five-week visit of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh to Canada and the United States in the fall of 1951.

Yesterday, I dropped into a local vintage show and was surprised to find a nice box of Eberhard Faber pencils. It is not often that I attend shows like this and even more rare to see pencils there.  In Canada, these were sold in a gold box while in the US, the box was more commonly silver. This box is showing its age on the outside but the inside still looks great. As the Eberhard Faber factory didn't open in Acton Vale until 1951, we can probably date these pencils to the 1950s or early 1960s. As ballpoint pens, such as the Bic Crystal, were becoming popular in the 1950s, this pencil was probably short lived.
