Diagraph 817 No.2

Oooh, check out my Patented April, 24, 94 as in 1894(as well as the crimped ferrule sharpened pencil).  The Diagraph 817 No.2 was made by Eagle Pencil Co. in New York well over 100 years ago, and aside from being a bonafide antique there are a few reasons why this pencil is special. When you pick one up the first thing you’ll notice is the texture. It feels grippy and won’t easily slip out of your hand. It also sports the long ferrule with a left-handed imprint; two qualities that often go hand-in-hand with pencils from the early 1900s.
