Are these made in USA?

Not any more. But the good news is, you can get pencils every bit as good, if not better, that ARE made in the USA, from sustainably forested California Cedar, by getting the USA Gold pencils. Look for The Write Dudes or America's Pencil to find those. They sharpen great, are strong and have that awesome "sharpened pencil" scent we all know and love.

Are they manufactured in the USA? I know they USED to be, but have seen many made in China or Mexico.

Not at all. These pencils are made in China 🇨🇳 I recommend considering other brand products like > The Musgrave Pencil company has been making pencils in Shelbyville TN USA 🇺🇸 since 1916.

Are these made in USA?

These are made in China with wood from the USA. These are terrific pencils and even better are the erasers which erase pencil marks completely without leaving any residue or gray smeared spots. I love them!

Are these the same as the "my first pencil" #2?

No, this is a 30ct pack of our traditional yellow Ticonderoga presharpened pencils. The "My First" Ticonderoga pencils are larger in diameter (13/32" dia.) They also have a larger latex-free eraser.
