This would depend on the orientation of the pencil. A pencil standing vertically could likely support 35 to 50 pounds (16 to 23 kg) but could snap if that weight shifted at all. The pencil "barrel" could hold as little as 8 lbs if it were applied at the ends, with a fulcrum at the center. But it might hold as much as 150 lbs if the weight was suspended from near the center.
