I buy and swap pencils

If you have brand name pencils to sell, or to swap I am interested

Buying - I buy brand name writing pencils in all quantities including singles, boxes or entire collections

Swaps - I am working on my catalog and duplicate list... but don't wait, if you would like to swap contact me

Do you collect advertising pencils? I have very large numbers, in many themes and I would be interested in swapping these for brand name writing pencils, possibly even many-for-one.

Pencils of special interest

- any pencils, new or old, from any country outside US and Europe. I have very few Indian, South American or Asia-Pacific pencils and would be very interested in more

- left-handed pencils (where the text runs from cap to tip)

- old pencils

About

I started collecting pencils in the 1970s. It was a fairly random choice: I wanted to collect something, pencils were cheap and there are many different ones. Now I have 1000s

To begin with my focus was on places: the pencils were a momento of places we visted. Over time my interests changed and now I collect mainly brand name writing pencils.

This is a blog about collecting and about my collection.
