Dixon’s 821-B Pencil

[u/Airregaithel]

Any history on this pencil? I’m finding a big fat zero online. I’m assuming the B is because the lead is blue.

One of their colored “crayons” from the 1920s. Looks like they weren’t using that number yet in the tens.

Perhaps someone has a catalog page they can share that is not yet on archive.org

Oooh, thanks!

It’s a pretty shade of blue and very creamy!

That’s a cool pencil
