Stonemasonry pencils were mentioned at this site before I had ever seen one.
Here we see a 240mm version from Bleispitz (the 0341), and a 300mm version from Lyra (the 331 Profi).
With extremely hard 6H leads, they are meant for writing on stone and rock surfaces. Mr. Slate probably used one.
My thanks to Gunther from Lexikaliker for assistance in acquiring these pencils.
This is the third of a four-part mini-series. Tomorrow: Lyra Profi copying carpenter pencils.
We have purchased Round, approximately 1/2″ round 7″ long white “stone mason pencils” and had our company name and information put on them. Do you do that or know someone you could refer me to?
Hi there,
I would like to purchase a quantity of the LYRA 331 PROFI pencils.
I live in Perth Western Australia and have had a lot of trouble finding suppliers who will respond to my emails for pencils such as this. The pencil my husband uses in his work was recently discontinued and sourcing a supply of these pencils would help him in his day to day work greatly.
Any help would be much appreciated.
