This set will take an extra week to begin shipping as it is being assembled by our new fulfillment center partners in Austin.
For the time being, the items in this set are available as this unit only - we are not yet positioned to sell single erasers, pencils, or tins. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we need to walk before we run with the new system.
Thank you for your patience!

Our ride-or-die essentials in a compact aluminum tin - for the past four years I've kept one in my bag, and one on my desk.
Aluminum Tin: Intentionally slim. Fits just what you need, and nothing you don’t. When it’s worn beyond repair, it’s 100% recyclable.
100% Wool Liner: Keeps contents from rattling around inside the tin. Liner is compostable.
1 Metal Pencil Sharpener (incl. 2 replacement blades)
Unpainted Pencil: Our favorite pencil ever. Made from sustainably-forested incense cedar by General’s Pencil Company in New Jersey (one of the last American pencil factories), and not sullied by a coat of paint that creates micro plastics when sharpened (paint is plastic).
Metal Sharpener: German made, compact, and equipped with two replacement blades built in.
Wax Highlighter: These "china markers" have been around for ages, and their bright yellow wax makes them the perfect replacement for disposable plastic highlighters.
Stainless Steel Pen + Refill: Available as an add-on. This substantial stainless steel ballpoint pen is a handsome reminder that pens should not be disposable. Even the extra ink cartridges are plastic free.
Pencil Tin Set Includes:
+ Recyclable Aluminum Pencil Tin
+ 100% Wool Liner
+ Unpainted, Sustainably Forested Pencil
+ Metal Sharpener, 2 extra blades

Hundreds of millions of plastic, vinyl, nylon, and canvas pencil cases are eternally stuck in landfills, and millions more sit on store shelves soon to be added. Our recyclable aluminum pencil tin is intentionally slim and fitted with the essentials you need, and nothing you don't.

+ Pencil Tin (can be recycled with cans)
Compost:
+ Wool Liner
+ Pencil shavings
Paper Recycling:
+ Cardboard Packaging

Scrap Metal:
+ Metal Sharpener, 2 extra blades
+ Stainless Steel Pen and Metal Refill
(We hope you have no need for scrap metal recycling and you're able to pass this pen down for generations to come - it's that great).
RETURNS Free within 30 days of receipt. If there is an issue with your purchase, please reach out so we can make it right.
SHIPPING Orders typically packed within 24-48 hours Monday - Friday.
Orders ship via USPS or UPS. Shipping prices are the actual rates we pay (the true cost of shipping from Northern CA. - Sorry Maine!). As we grow, we will negotiate more favorable shipping rates, but for now, we pack every order (plastic-free), load up our cars, and deliver to a post office in a nearby town because our local Post Office refuses to accept or pick up the “large” number of packages we have outgoing on a normal basis.
Thanks for your patience while we navigate how to scale what we’re doing!
Disappointed that the tin was painted and not just tin. But your products included were great.

Back to the 70’s! ❤️
I love this pencil box! Over the years, I moved away from using pencil boxes, but I am very happy to resume using one. I purchased the green since it reminded me of the trim on my previous favorite pencil box that I got in elementary school from W.T. Grants — our area’s precursor to KMart. The pencil and highlighter both write so smoothly, and I added the Zebra pen, a refill, and a 6” metal ruler with room to spare! I am looking forward to ordering the screwdriver set once restocked as well as the redesigned binder set.

Finally…
What a pleasure to have easily ordered, quickly received and now using the “zero waste” pencil set with wool hush cloth. The sharpener is sharp and the eraser erases! Have not tried the intriguing highlighter yet.
Delightful -Christmas gifts made easy!

Loved the set.
I loved the packaging and the box colors. I tried the highlighter and was very happy with it.
