The pen and pencil holder is includes a backing having its rear or back surface typically attachable by an adhesive to an automobile dashboard, and is a unitary single plastic molded structure having a forwardly-extending spaced-apart clip structure, each clip structure having forwardly-extending opposing spaced-apart clips with each clip being substantially semicircular shaped in a horizontal plane and of substantially constant thickness in that horizontal plane. The backing structure and the clip structure and the clips thereof each have dimensions of critical ranges in order to meet the essential criteria of retained memory of flexibility while concurrently retaining appropriate strength to support a snapped-in pen or pencil within typical extreme temperature ranges encountered during hot summer weather within the confines of a closed-up automobile during daytime hours, while concurrently being non-brittle and resilient in frigid temperature of winter environment.
