Its secret is a piece of lead, embedded off-center near the end —

You can make a real LEAD pencil out of it! —

DO NOT EAT

    When did these pencils first come out and are they still made today?

      These look to be from the 50’s or early 60’s. With “Patent Applied For,” the technology would be of similar age. I very much doubt that they have been made recently. They contain real lead, after all, which could theoretically cause poisoning of pencil chewers.
