I drew Lenny with my Wallace Zephyr, and delineated him with my Twenty Grand pencil.
As for the featured pencil, well... I used it to sign the card and to draw Lenny's whiskers. =^..^=

The featured pencil is a Dixon 'Artisan' 268. This pencil was among those rescued from an antique work box (yeah, if this is the first of my descriptions you've ever read, you're missing stuff!).
Anyway, this pencil 'might' be from the 1800's. If it isn't, it's very close to it given the presence of the *crucible logo (the crucible is that cup-looking thing).

*in this context, a 'crucible' is a vessel (like a bowl) that is heated to melt whatever materials are placed inside it. ^^

The Dixon 'Artisan' (also known as a 'penny pencil') isn't too uncommon to find without the crucible logo ...but having one with the crucible is a bit more special (means it's a bit older, but I'm unsure by how much).

The shape of the pencil's core (ie, the lead) would give its age away, but this one was sharpened before I got it (and I'm not going to saw it), so I dunno its shape.
All I can really say of its vintage is it's almost certainly pre-WWI.

A question none of you are asking (but one I'll answer anyway) is 'What's it like to sharpen an 1800's pencil?'

The answer is, 'unpleasant'. :p

The better answer is, 'you don't'.

Even so, if one insists, the best way to sharpen an antique pencil is with a razor blade or an extremely sharp knife.
Generally, the wood of the pencil is far too dry to produce shavings, so using a traditional sharpener will cause the wood to chip and break.

This particular pencil already had a slight point on it, so I just rubbed the point very fast on some paper to shape the end into a point I could write with.

BTW, the end you're looking at isn't the drawing end ...that's its eraser (yup---this pencil has an eraser, but no ferrule).", "writing": "", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "", "pools_count": 1, "title": "Lenny", "deleted": "f", "public": "t", "mimetype": "image/png", "pagecount": "1", "rating_id": "0", "rating_name": "General", "ratings": [], "submission_type_id": "1", "type_name": "Picture/Pinup", "guest_block": "f", "friends_only": "f", "comments_count": "7", "views": "67" }
