Good afternoon,

I'm trying to gather some information about slate pencils. I've come across
a few publications about writing slates (including Davies 2005 and Swords
2008) and I'm wondering if folks have any additional suggestions for
literature about slate pencils?
There are a few slate pencils in a 19th century northeast U.S. domestic
collection I'm analyzing, and I am curious to hear what others have made of
any slate pencils they've recovered. Thanks in advance for any references,
information, or insight you may have to share!

Best,
