1101 Yellow Special No. 2 Pencils – 12, 72 or 144 Count

Musgrave Pencil Company was founded in 1916 by James Raford Musgrave in Shelbyville, Tennessee. The business began by turning local red cedar into pencil slats, including wood recovered through exchanges with farmers for their old rail fences. Today, the family-owned company continues pencil manufacturing in Shelbyville, supporting local manufacturing skills and jobs. Its commitment to domestic production includes transparent acknowledgment that components come from both domestic and global sources.

Materials and origin

The supplier identifies wood casings, graphite cores, banded ferrules, and latex-free erasers. The exact wood species and complete component formulations are not stated for this model. The six-sided barrel gives the pencil its classic school-supply shape. Manufacturing in Tennessee uses domestic and globally sourced components; the country-of-origin statement should not be read as a claim that every input comes from the United States.

Manufactured in Shelbyville, Tennessee, USA, using domestic and globally sourced components. U.S. manufacturing does not mean that every material or component is U.S.-sourced.

Care and storage

Use a sharpener that fits the barrel, and stop when the point is ready rather than removing extra material. Store the pencils dry, away from excessive heat, and protect sharpened tips during transport. Avoid dropping or bending pencils because a core can break inside an apparently sound casing. Keep bulk packs in their boxes until needed. These practical handling suggestions are not a manufacturer warranty.
