About Geddes

At GEDDES, we make it our mission to supply students (and adults young at heart) with imaginative and affordable pens, pencils, mechanical pencils, erasers and other school supplies. Even if you haven't heard of Geddes, you've very possibly seen our products in someone's hand, in the stationery supplies aisle at the department store, or near the cash register at your local gift store. You may have even used our school supplies when you were a student and not even realized it! You wouldn't know it looking at us now, but when we started way back in 1924, our focus was the basic yellow #2 pencil and standard ballpoint stick pen. We supplied Baltimore-area, then Maryland-area, and eventually Mid-Atlantic elementary school and middle school students with traditional supplies. As the school business grew nationally, we began offering a mail order school supply catalog to reach more schools throughout the USA. We found that the more unusual and original the item was, the more students responded. Over time, our catalogs were filled with more and more novelty merchandise. Today we busy ourselves with inventing and developing our own lines of novelty pens, pencils, and other school supplies for students, as well as working with several well-known licensors. Experience in the school market fed our expansion into the world of retail wholesale distribution. Today, we're providing our unique writing supplies and point-of-purchase impulse merchandise to businesses all over the country.Read their story
