We think the Sanford Noblot Ink Pencil 705 is one of the best ones to mark plaster casts. We bought some 10 years ago while we were in the USA. Now we are in Brasilia, Brazil. How could we buy some more pencils?

I use these for tattoo stenciling, last order they were still readily available. Superior Tattoo sells these for $1.75 each, I ordered and received a couple a few weeks ago and they are still listed on their website: http://www.superiortattoo.com. Retail on these pencils is less than $2 ea., beware of ripoffs like the poster, michaelk, offering them for $15 ea.

I use it on my dental lab work. It is only thing that works for me.

These pencils were used in the construction industry because of their marking ability on concrete,brick, tile etc. I use to be a sheet metal worker and always had a couple Noblot pencils to mark sheet metal products. Gutter, downspouts, flashing. Any metal product. Great pencils.

I came across a vintage full box of these pencils just a month ago at a local flea market. I also bought 2 full boxes of Dixon No. 2074 Intense copying pencils, an Othello No. 25 box which contained a mix of copy pencils , with a couple of the Othello Purple pencils, Venus pencils and something called ” Heyer Quality Hektograph pencils”.

At first, I didn’t really know what these were for and I had to do some research online. I though perhaps I would use them like watercolor pencils or inktense pencils. However, some of the info stated that the materials were toxic and that extra care needed to be taken when using them, and especially when sharpening them. I’m still not sure what I plan to do with them. The Noblot is not as bold as the Dixon and Othello pencils.

I have 11 of these left and would be interested in trading for pencils that I do not have. Let me know what you have available and we can talk.
I need another vintage Blackwing 602 and I have yet to get any of the new Blackwing 602′s.

At the risk of self-promotion on Stephen’s excellent blog, we’ll be running a review of the Pencil Things indelible pencil soon. It’s NICE!
