For consideration is a vintage wood pencil advertising for R.E. Archibald, merchants of coal, charcoal & coke of  Halifax & Bedford, Nova Scotia.  Measures just over 7 inches in length.  Manufactured in England.  Has been sharpened and in reasonably good condition other than some wee dents to the wood. The attached photos should provide a good visual description.   In order to save some costs for buyers, I generally ship via the cheapest method.  Shipping fees in padded envelope & untracked as follows:  Within Canada.....$3.00  To the United States.....$4.25  Remainder of globe.....$7.00 

I have had these old pencils for years but I'm now trying to find them new homes and, at the same time, try to remain solvent.  Many are related to old Halifax, Nova Scotia businesses.
