Pencils, eh
A virtual museum of the golden age of the Canadian pencil industry.
I recently found a pack of Eagle Confetti 90-HB pencils. This is a pencil that I've been hoping to find for a quite some time. They came in a package with a trio of colors (light blue, orange and yellow) and a funky font style. These pencils are fairly uncommon. The price tag on the package is from S.S. Kresge Co. (which became Kmart in 1977... but there were S.S. Kresge stores in Canada into the 1990s). I think these pencils date from around the 1960s based on the logo on the package and the style of the silver ferrule. I've seen other examples of the pencil in different colors (burgundy, orange and green). I've wondered if these pencils were sold about the same time as other colorful Eagle pencils with close numbers such as the Eagle Rocket 84, Eagle Neon 86 and Eagle Roy Rogers 88. All of these pencils came in a number of colors and had the same ferrule Do you have any favorite colorful pencils? Here are some of mine...
