Blackwing pencils were originally introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company in the 1930's. Their cult following included John Steinbeck and Chuck Jones, who proudly used Blackwings to create Bugs Bunny and many other Looney Tunes characters.
Despite this following, they fell victim to cost-cutting measure in the 1990's and were discontinued. But that didn't stop devotees from paying as much as $40 per pencil to seize unused stock. In 2010, the company drew from nearly a century of experience in the pencil business to access the best materials in the world and bring Blackwing back for a new generation of writers, musicians, artists, and others seeking a more natural and tactile existence. Today, a portion of the sales from all Blackwing products benefits the Blackwing Foundation, which funds and develops arts and music education at the K-12 level. Your purchase helps provide, among other things, the instruction, learning environment, and instruments children need to participate in the Little Kids' Rock Modern Band Program. Learn more. |
