Leadholder - The Drafting Pencil Museum

We are loving Leadholder, the online Drafting Pencil museum, painstakingly curated by Dennis B. Smith. It's packed full of beautiful pictures of pencils of days gone by, often including the packaging and detailed time-lines of different brand's design evolution.  Inspiring and beautiful packaging that at times feels absent from contemporary art supply packaging.

Leadholder's large collection of vintage Catalog and Advertisement scans are quite compelling and definitely worth spending some time on.
