In the 1920's Sheaffer's, Cross, Grieshaber and maybe a couple other companies created hand painted (usually over metal), examples of their standard line of production mechanical pencils. Shown here are four examples of the Sheaffer's Lifetime, metal, short ring top pencil.
Are they paintings of something in particular or just sort of random artistic patterns?
ReplyDeleteThe pencils were hand painted and 'based on' several basic schemes as shown.
