Made in: USA
Two variations of the Color-Fast here.....I've got a complete pack where all are silver painted and then I've got some that are colored the same as the lead. NOTE: The bottom brown colored pencil is available for purchase here.
Founded in 1893, Blaisdell Pencil Co. was based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and had a short stint in England, too. Founder Frederick Blaisdell was granted a U.S. patent in 1895 for the shelf-sharpening paper-pencil. Until about 1946, Blaisdell was the sole manufacturer of a pencil with a string sharpening feature. The company became a subsidiary of Eagle Pencil Company around the 1930s, and eventually merged with Berol.
