These slate pencils are wrapped in paper decorated like the American flag and stored in a cardboard box with an American flag design. In the United States, slate pencils were manufactured at least as early as 1844 and at least as late as the 1910s. A Vermont company produced up to 100,000 pencils a day, which were shipped throughout the world in the mid 19th century. By the end of the Civil War, slate pencil manufacturing began to wane as wood and graphite pencils took over the marketplace. Visit The Hornbine School any 2nd or 4th Sunday in August or September and try out a slate pencil for yourself. It's a unque experience. Our one room schoolhouse is located in the south east corner of Rehoboth at 144 Hornbine Road across from Baker Street. We are open from 2-4 P.M. on the following dates. ( August 11th & 25th and September 8th & 22nd)
