One of the first articles I wrote here at the blog, back on November 10, concerned Newton Crane’s Self Sharpening Pencil Company and the partially stocked display case that turned up at a garage sale in Cambridge, Massachusetts just days after
The Catalogue was published. At that time, these were the only examples of the pencil I’d ever seen, and all were painted in pastel colors.
But then along came Tanya Hiles with this one . . .
NOTE: This article is now included in the print version of
