Odd Ducks

The Riedell, as the title of today’s article suggests, is an odd duck. It appears on page 126 of The Catalogue, and in addition to the fact that I’ve never had one in working condition, I can’t figure out how they ever did.

The internal workings look like they were designed by Dr. Seuss – here’s the picture from page 126 showing the tip removed . . .

NOTE:  This article is now included in the print version of The Leadhead's Pencil Blog, available anywhere you buy books, or also from The Legendary Lead Company.

    What does that patent number reveal about these odd ducks?

    I'm at a dead end when it comes to finding the patent on this one. Nothing helpful on the pencil or the paper label. I've paged George Kovalenko to see if he can help-
