Apple Education ’93 Pen and Pencil Set (1993)

This Apple Education pen and pencil set was manufactured in Germany by the Senator company. The set consists of a similarly designed white plastic pen and pencil with black accents and a black rubber grip. The sides of the pen and pencil are printed in the Apple Garamond font (Apple’s corporate font from 1984–2003) with “Apple Education ’93” and a compass symbol with a black Apple logo at the center.

The box from the set measures 6.875 inches tall, 1.75 inches wide, and 0.75 inches deep. The pen and pencil are clipped to a white plastic base.

According to their website, the company that manufactured this set is still in operation and recently celebrated their 100th anniversary: “senator products stand out because they represent a thorough concept targeting individualised brand presentation: a broad range of designs, dependable production and customised printing mean they offer a perfect match with your brand.”

ClarisWorks for Kids Pencil

Claris describes itself as “a subsidiary of Apple Inc.” The company began in 1987 as a software company Apple “spun off” to make software for the Apple II and eventually the Macintosh. In 1988 Claris purchased a popular database program FileMaker Inc. In 1998 Claris changed its name to FileMaker and returned its popular ClarisWorks product to Apple (changing the product’s name to AppleWorks). In 2019, FileMaker Inc. went back to the Claris name by rebranding as Claris International.

ClarisWorks for Kids was released in 1997. It had similar features as ClarisWorks, but with a simplified interface aimed at early elementary school students.

This pencil features the ClarisWorks for Kids logo, characters, and a bright yellow eraser. I have seven of these pencils in my collection.
