The World's Best Selling Pencil! First introduced in 1913, the Joseph Dixon Crucible Company wanted "a fine American name for a fine American pencil." They named the pencil "Ticonderoga" after Fort Ticonderoga, a military post in New York.

With production of nearly a half a billion pencils a year, the Ticonderoga has become the #1, most recognized, and revered pencil throughout the world. Try one of our quality Ticonderoga products and discover for yourself why each and every one of our products is "The Best of its Kind".

Our green and yellow pencil may be famous the world over, but some folks get a little tongue-tied when they try to pronounce the name. For those of you who could use a little help saying "Ticonderoga" we offer the following "Phonetic Phollies" to get you talking like a pro.
