The 600 News Pencil is a regular-size round pencil printed a shiny black with an oversized and very soft core. You can use this pencil for marking on newspapers and for drawing and sketching. Because of the soft core, the point retention wears a little faster than other styles. You'll find the smooth lines are well worth the time spent with a sharpener!

The Musgrave Pencil Company is a family-owned, 100-year-old pencil factory located in Shelbyville, Tennessee.
