They stopped makeing pencils with real led because people kept putting them in there mouth and led is really not good for you. You could get spuriously sick or even die and need medical attention.
No, there has never been any real lead in pencil lead. It is a mixture of graphite (carbon) and clay.
It is almost twice as heavy as lead.
They are made from the imagination of people. They are not real.
PSCO is the hallmark of the Plainville Stock Company, making jewelry pieces since the late 1800s. If it's marked 10K, it's that purity of real gold. You may have a valuable vintage piece of "costume" jewelry depending on its style and condition.

Today, we use it for pencils. But since it can conduct electricity better than silver, and is stronger than diamonds, we can use it for digital technologies in the near future, such as TV screens. Insert mode
The main use is making the "lead" or graphite in pencils. The lead in pencils is actually graphite. If it was real lead it would be very dangerous.
Pencil making companies do not use real lead anymore, well most of them don't. For the most part pencils are non toxic and you are not likely to die from them since they are no longer real lead. Besides lead doesn't really kill you just gives you brain damage.
No it is u just blowing on the pencils to make people scared
Graphite is a solid. It's commonly seen in pencils (as a replacement for real lead, which is poisonous), and is a component in the process in manufacturing man-made or industrial diamonds.

Pencils don't really have feelings like humans do. But if you're imagining that they do, you'll think they do. Its all about your mindset. But for surely I know that none of the people has a real answer to this question for maybe there is a world or dimension out there where pencils have feelings. WE'LL NEVER KNOW....
If it is real led (which most likely not) it is VERY poisonous and can even kill the dog. But, if you have the new pencils which led is made out of graphite it shouldn't really hurt the dog but you should talk to your vet about how much the dog consumed and see if it will hurt the dog and stuff like that.
Pencil "lead" never contained lead but was always graphite.Another opinionThe "lead" in modern pencils is made from the element Carbon (C) - in its soft form of graphite - plus a filler (like clay). These ingredients are all ground up very fine and then stuck together with glue. It contains none of the actual chemical element Lead (Pb).Further historical informationThe name "lead" is used because, before modern pencils were invented, it was known that a pure piece of the element Lead (Pb) can be used to make marks on wood or paper because it is very soft. It is not used today because real Lead and its various compounds are poisonous and are also very expensive compared to Carbon. (Soot is basically Carbon.)
Graphite itself is pure carbon. But it might be possible for some samples of graphite to contain impurities of lead.
