Across the street from Skeeter's Hot Dogs, a large pencil comes out of an office supply shop in downtown Wytheville.

Giant pencil.

Wytheville's Huge Pencil

The pencil is still there, and shows only slight signs of age. Bonus: do a 180 and see a big bucket of paint on another roof!

Giant Yellow Pencil

Much like the giant cigar, this giant yellow pencil is in front of the Wytheville Office Supply Store. It appears to be a 20- 25-foot-long wooden yellow pencil like people have used forever. Down the street is The Paint Store with a giant can of paint for its sign; across the street is Skeeter's World Famous Hot Dogs (a Wytheville tradition); and the Edith Boling Wilson house/hotel is nearby.

Go inside to see the world's largest working scissors. They give you a free post card of the pencil.

A wonderful town to explore -- the big pencil is only one of quite a few worthwhile odd attractions. I visited here based on the tip for this very cool, very huge pencil and ended up spending hours around the area. I love old, oversized 3D advertisements!
