Lippincott Pencil Company

Here’s another from Tanya Hile’s parade of pencils, marked "Lippincott’s Push Point."

There were two of these up for auction. The other one was an earlier example and only had the November 1, 1898 patent date – I wasn’t the high bidder on that one, but this one, with patent dates of November 1, 1898 and April 7,1907, was the one in which I was more interested . . .
