November 10, 2011:  Pencil fans, be sure to check out my latest updates at "The Leadhead's Pencil Blog!" 

THE LEADHEAD'S PENCIL BLOG

Welcome to what I call my "Mechanical Pencil Museum!"  I've been collecting for many years, so I thought it might be helpful to establish a site compiling and sharing the information I have gathered about the Antique and Vintage Mechanical Pencils in my collection.

This is a constant work in progress that I hope is never finished.

By way of introduction:

• WHAT'S NEW?  - latest updates to the Museum
• Why the fascination with mechanical pencils? 
• A brief history of the evolution of mechanical pencils - coming soon
• A quick tour of the articles in this site
• Other pencil sites, credits and bibliography
• Repair services available for pencils and pens
• Mechanical Pencils for sale
• Pens for sale - NEW
• If you want to sell your pens or pencils

If you find any errors, or have any questions, comments or additional information I should incorporate into this site, please feel free to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it    I love to learn and I don't profess to know it all, so if something I said is wrong, please light a candle rather than curse my darkness!
