Pencils, eh
A virtual museum of the golden age of the Canadian pencil industry.
No, I'm not talking about the Netflix series... this is however a regal pencil. The Eagle Crown 862 copying pencil is a pencil made with high quality. One British advertisement from 1881 stated that "Each [Eagle Pencil] Brand denotes a quality of Lead, Cedar, and Finish, "The Crown" being the highest grade that can be produced. You can see there has been much effort to design a pencil that stands appart including a unique ferrule. The "Crown" logo and name was originally applied to a line of penholders and so it is difficult to find information about this copying pencil as most searches lead to the more common penholder.
