Wahl Eversharp and Yard O Led Mechanical Pencils. One large Wahl Eversharp gold filled chevron pattern circa 1917. Two large Yard O Led sterling silver pencils circa 1920s.
Eversharp was established in 1905 as the Wahl Adding Machine Company. In 1913 an inventor named Charles Keenan, developed the "Ever Sharp" Pencil which was too popular for him to keep up with the demand alone. He sought the help of the Wahl Adding Machine Company around 1915 to produce enough pens to meet the demand. This led to tremendous success and Wahl-Eversharp company was born, producing fine writing instruments until about 1957, when they had to sell the company.
