DescriptionThis pencil was made to promote the Bunny Bread Company, which started in 1947 in Anna, Illinois. Three brothers started a small neighborhood bakery, which eventually grew to sell bread around the country and the world. The pencil is mostly white with the cartoonish bunny logo of the brand displayed adjacent to a line of blue and red text. The text reads "GET THE RABBIT HABIT!/BUY BUNNY." The pencil is unsharpened and has a shiny gold eraser casing at the bottom, which houses a pink rubber pencil eraser.
