Does anyone know anything about the Buckskin line? I’m awaiting a delivery of some from an ebay seller and don’t know much about them except they’re painted and by the Blackfeet Indian Writing Company.

I scored a nice amount of older Eberhard Faber American 2 HB pencils from a seller using the classifieds on this site:

You can also post in the “seeking pencils” section.

My understanding is that the original production line is long gone. The only chance would be to try to get some on ebay, etc. I heard that some newer ones were being made, but they weren’t the same.

I found a box of Swagger Stick pens manufactured by the Blackfeet Indian Writing Company when I cleaned out my parent’s house. The box is cardboard and has a picture of A Fantasy from the Pony War Dance by Frederic Remington. There are 8 black pens left in the box. Some do not write and some do faintly. I don’t think they are used just probably dried out. Does anyone know anything about the pens made by this company?

Just came across this site. I have two full boxes of these pencils. I have been using them for the last 10 years, not realizing their importance and want for collectors. I have now wrapped them up in clear wrap and they are sitting on my nick nack shelf. I do have mor in my cellar and will look for them next week and wrap them up too.

Thanks for the links guys! I have a much better understanding of the pencils now. The Vector 001-04 in the link is close to mine, the only differnce is the lead hardness and the rims.

I believe Vector is the name of the pencil, not the name of the brand just as Blackwing is a pencil’s name.

Example: Visit brandnamepencils.com, click on the “Blackfeet Indian Writing Co.” link, and then scroll down to the Vector 001-04.

Vector is a good question. This link is a nice summary, but no Vector:

Hi everyone, I have 1 box of “The Blackfeet Indian Pencil” and 3 boxes of “Vector Pencils” they are marked with gold letters “Blackfeet Indian Writing Company” and come in the same box as the “Blackfeet Indian Pencils” but I can’t find any information on Vector pencils on the internet. Can anyone help me with any information on these pencils.
