There'll Always be An England Pencil

Vintage WWII "There'll always be an England" pencil made by Bundles for Britain. Copyright 1939. It is new old stock, unused and unsharpened. There is some discoloration,  but it is in overall fairly good condition.

Bundles for Britain started as a knitting circle in a store front in New York City. Knitted goods—socks, gloves, hats, sweaters, and scarves—were made and shipped to Britain. Within 16 months, Latham expanded Bundles for Britain to 975 branches and almost a million contributors, and by the spring of 1941, it had delivered 40,000 sweater vests, 10,000 sweaters, 30,000 scarves, 18,000 pairs of seaboot stockings, 50,000 pairs of socks, and 8,000 caps. By 1941, it had also shipped ambulances, surgical instruments, medicines, cots, blankets, field kitchen units, and operating tables, along with used clothing of all sorts. The total value of goods shipped reached $1,500,000; another $1,000,000 was raised in cash.
