A: The average length of an unsharpened pencil is 7.5 inches, and smaller library or golfing pencils are usually 3 1/2 inches in length. Hexagonal-shaped pencils are a quarter of an inch thick at the smallest point.
Today pencils are numbered and/or lettered to tell us how hard the lead is. The higher the number, the harder the lead, and the lighter the markings. However, it wasn't always this way. The earliest pencils were made simply from filling a wood shaft with raw graphite. The hardness of the graphite would differ depending on the quality of the graphite, thus it was different depending on where the pencil was made. The current style of making pencils was developed in 1794 by Nicolas-Jacques Cont (1755-1805).
