Brand: Blaisdell Pencil Co.
Made in: USA
A popular line for the Blaisdell Pencil Co, but you don't see many of the Ben Franklin Drawing 550's. Here there are two different variations.
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.
