Need Canadian members help, please
 

I came across a yellow graphite #2 pencil somewhere a while ago and have been using it in my studio and office. I Love, love, love it! The conundrum....I can not locate the brand anywhere, with the exception of some mention of Canada, school supplies, and, perhaps, a bankruptcy/abandonment-of-business issue.

I think this is/was a Canadian company. Do any of our Canadian QB members know anything about these pencils: if they are still available, where to buy them, if they'd be willing to buy and send me some (at my expense of course)?

The #2 lead in these is just very appealing to me and I'd really love to have more of them.

Thank you so much for your consideration!

Jan, I will keep an eye open for you, but I don't think I have ever seen them.

I have not seen them here in Eastern Canada but I will check our local stores.
Will let you know if I find any.

Thank you for your offers of help! I await word.

Jan I will check with my LQS Monday night when I go in they have a decent assortment of pencils.

I just checked my pencils they are graphite but I don't know if they are a #2 or not but they are Fon's and Porter ones I got when I first started quilting a couple of years ago.

Just checked with our local Fabricland and also with Opus Art Supplies and neither of them had heard of this product, sorry.

I have never heard of this brand but I will check the $ stores. The #2's that I have are Venus, Dixon & Classmate. If I find some Lovetts I will PM you & gladly send you some.

Jan, I will ask around here in western Canada and see if I can find anything for you. Or, at least some info.

Jan, I checked mine and they are Venus # 2 ..... Hopefully I will get some shopping time at Dollarama , Staples
and others. Will gladly buy any then email you before I mail them. Live north east of Toronto --more center of country so with all the others that wrote I think we should have the whole 5000 miles covered. I know we have
members in Newfoundland and Vancouver Island yet to jump in here.

I found this company - Lovett International Inc 144 Gould Street # 205 Needham Heights, MA 02494-2343
Phone: (781) 444-1600 Nicole Ma, primary of sales, updated this company profile on 09/17/2012 " is a large importer of school supplies, paper products and writing implements."

This may be the company that makes your pencil. Hope it helps. meanwhile I'll keep a look out for Lovett #2 pencils.

Gosh, thank you for that info about the Needham Heights, MA #. I may try it tomorrow.

But it concerns me a bit with the last name and "importer".....only because I was badly burned ($130 worth) about 5 years ago over a special lamp I ordered and had to return, similar info on the company, lost the refund over it. I've been really careful ordering on line/by phone since.

I really appreciate all those that are looking for these for me. I am very aware of and have tried all the other brands of pencils that have been mentioned and they are not quite what I want.

Hugs,

Lovett is a brand name and is manufactured in Canada and USA. Try searching on the brand name to find local sources of this pencil.

I just searched on "Lovett pencils" and came up with this link http://www.lovettpromotion.com/onlinestore.html

They sell all kinds of school/office supplies and list tons of pencils (with pictures) to give it a try.

I realize this post is very old but I wanted to chime in. I, too, am a great fan of the Lovett pencils.
I purchased them at the Dollar Tree many years ago and haven't seen them anywhere else. I also bought a Lovett calendar there that was very good quality. However, I have not been able to find Lovett brand anywhere since.
Have you?

Kind Regards,

Shalyn, if you click the link in the post above yours, it looks like the company is still in business, It seems to me all the items they manufacture are promotional items for companies, organizations, etc. to put their name on. You could contact them, though.
