Rare Antique Penn Art Dustless White Chalk in Original Box with Slide Lid 1940s saltillo if I were better atI can find pretty much nothing out there about the Penn Art Crayon Co of Easton, PA so think the company may not have been very long lived; I found all of one listing out there anywhere, and it was for a now sold box of white chalk just like this box (listed for $120!) I have a deep visceral love for old wooden boxes of white chalk, having found a couple of boxes of "Old Faithful" previously, in boxes much like this nice to have chalk around for when
