In 2021, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBlackwing released our second Eras pencil paying tribute to the Palomino pencils that inspired the Blackwing revival. In 2022, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBlackwing honored the arrow-punched ferrule found on Blackwing pencils in the mid-20th century. In 2023, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBlackwing released a design inspired by the Van Dyke 601. In 2024, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBlackwing paid tribute to the Microtomic 603, and in 2025, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eBlackwing revived the design that first began the Blackwing revival 15 years ago. This year, Blackwing is paying homage to the first iterations of their pencils complete with retro-inspired packaging. Blackwing pencils were favored by award-winning creators throughout the 20th century. Despite a cult following, they were discontinued in the 1990s. Devotees began paying as much as $40 on eBay for a single pencil. We acquired the brand in 2010 and brought it back for a new generation of artists, musicians, and everyday people looking to unplug and live more mindfully.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eOther Blackwing items are available \u003ca href=\"blackwing-pencils\" title=\"Papillon Press St. Louis Blackwing Pencils Stationery Shop\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBox of 12 cedar pencils, in\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e a gift box that also doubles as a pencil cup.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Blackwing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52861949968615,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0144\/5829\/0240\/files\/924a59620da9556fa5d190f7453d2c497c9b21efcc715edc2e441fcdb1f02208.webp?v=1792267185","url":"https:\/\/www.papillon-press.com\/products\/blackwing-eras-2026","provider":"Papillon Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
