28.00 USD

Incredible box of Eagle Semaphore Mirado thin leads

The leads are orange colored and 'the silvered ends tell when to refill'

This box contains 11 smaller boxes of lead each filled with lead (it appears there were originally 12 boxes of lead)

The leads are nestled safely within a wooden container (see picture)

The smaller boxes are in excellent vintage condition

The larger box shows wear around the corners and some patina, but in wonderful condition considering its age

The larger box measures 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches

Just the small boxes of lead are a valuable piece of history in themselves

Made by the Eagle Pencil Company, New York, London, Toronto

"The "Eagle Pencil Company" was founded by Bavarian immigrant Daniel Berolzheimer in 1856 opening a pencil shop in New York City and a factory in Yonkers. In 1894 the company extended its business opening office, warehouse and showrooms in London.

Eagle Pencil also opened a factory in Tottenham, that started operating towards the end of 1907. The outbreak of the World War II in 1939 saw the factory pause pencil manufacture and instead produce secret military equipment. Pencil manufacture recommenced in 1946."
