Brand: Eagle Pencil Co.
Made in: USA
The Black Warrior was one of the first pencils to catch my eye as a middle schooler in Olney, Maryland, in the early 1980s. Always a safe bet for a pencil fight! These of course are the older Black Warrior models with the Eagle imprint (as opposed to the newer pencils marked with Berol).
The company was originally founded in New York City by the Berolzheimer family, and in 1969 became part of Berol Corporation. Berol was purchased by Empire in 1986, which was purchased by Sanford in 1995 (which is today a division of Newell Brands).
