Blackwing Pearl

A favorite of calligraphers and illustrators (and Mr. Boddington), the Blackwing Pearl boasts a balanced and smooth graphite core that is softer than the Blackwing 602, but firmer than the graphite found in the Blackwing Matte. It features a clean pearl white finish, signature square Blackwing ferrule, and a white eraser.

Blackwing 602

Did you know the Blackwing 602 was the pencil of choice for John Steinbeck, Chuck Jones, Shamus Culhane and countless other creatives before it was discontinued in 1998?

Favored by teachers, writers, artists, note takers and the like, the Blackwing 602 boasts a firm and smooth graphite core that earned its hallmark “Half the Pressure, Twice the Speed” tagline. It is finished with a gunmetal grey lacquer, signature square Blackwing ferrule, and a timeless pink eraser.

Blackwing Matte

The Blackwing Matte is perfect for musicians, woodworkers and anyone who prefers a soft, dark line. It is the softest of the four core Blackwing models, features a classic matte black finish, signature square Blackwing ferrule, and a black eraser.

All Blackwing pencils come in a luxe 12-pack gift box that doubles as a pencil cup.

THE SHOP IS OPEN

After twenty years of creating luxury engraved and letterpress custom correspondence for clients around the world, Mr. Boddington established his first stationery boutique in Brooklyn in 2019. There you will find hand-illustrated greeting cards, stationery, pencils, Japanese pens and fancy paper goods with enduring appeal.

Whether you are writing to wish your sister better luck with her love life, or leaving a reminder to pick up coffee at the bodega, it is best jotted on paper.

MR. BODDINGTON WAS MY IMAGINARY FRIEND

About twenty years ago, Rebecca Ruebensaal found herself weeping in a bathroom stall at her dreaded corporate job. Desperate to make NYC rent, there was only one probable solution. She called upon her childhood imaginary friend, a globetrotting gentleman named Mr. Boddington, and started a small business devoted to paper. Her parents were dizzy with worry.

In its early years, Mr. Boddington created engraved and letterpress invitations for picky yet impeccable brides in Manhattan. Eventually the business evolved to offering hand-illustrated greeting cards, stationery, books and globally-sourced desk accessories, always with Mr. B's idiosyncratic perspective as the guiding muse.
