In 1912, French engineer Georges Claude installed the world's first neon sign above a barbershop in Paris. Its vibrant tubular lights soon adorned the storefronts of small businesses around the world and symbolized the entrepreneurial drive that formed the backbone of their communities.
Today, the spirit of "Main Street" is stronger than ever. It can be found in urban cities and rural towns, bookstores and cafes, boutiques and restaurants. It's one of the many things that make our homes feel special. And it's worth preserving.
Blackwing 6 celebrates independent businesses and their entrepreneurial spirit.
Each set comes with a neon red pencil and a neon blue pencil inspired by the iconic "Open" neon sign. Each pencil features a black ferrule, black printing, and our smooth graphite.
The number 6 is a nod to the six noble gases that give neon lights their distinctive colors.
