Uwanta Pencil?

John Coleman sent me a picture of a couple of his other “mystery pencils”:


Both are fitted with accommodation clips with eerie faces on them.

    Greetings,

    I have bought an all brass one last week for 5CAN$ at a flea market. As those ones shown in your blog, the Indian head clip is poorly made. However, on the pencil itself, it is fairly imprinted "PAT. APPL'D FOR", and below "MADE IN U.S.A." According to what I read on your blog about the patent, this means that this pencil was produced in 1914 or 1915.

    I had to clean the pencil to read "uwanta" in the clip, and some google search brought me to your blog.

    I also have one of these pencils!! I got in a box of stuff from an auction. Is there more information about it? What company produced it, what size lead it takes? Was it for home or only business/upper class use?
