Pencils, eh
A virtual museum of the golden age of the Canadian pencil industry.
My son and I are fans of the CBC television show Back in Time for Winter. The show follows a modern day family as they recreate life in Canada through several different decades (1940s to 1990s). The show doesn't really address what school might have been like for Canadian children in these decades, so this is my attempt to fill in the gap. I did recently see that there is a BBC show Back in Time for School. I haven't watched it but there is an episode on The 1960s. Below you can see a few supplies that Canadian kids might have taken with them as they headed to school in the 1960s.
Dating vintage school supplies can be difficult so I can be 100% sure all of these specific items were available in the 1960s but I think I'm pretty close with this small selection of items. Do you have any memories of these or other Canadian made school supplies?

Been trying to find out who owns Camp Fire notebooks and what the status/copyright is on the artwork used on the cover. Is it Hilroy?
