Collector Notes
Brown & Bigelow, the calendar printing company founded in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1894, began dabbling in the mechanical pencil business under the trade name “Redipoint” around 1918. In April, 1921, however, the company got serious about its new brand, and by the beginning of March, 1922, advertisements indicated that the pencils were being made by the “Redipoint Pencil Division” of Brown and Bigelow:
Mechanical pencils are used to provide lines of constant width without sharpening in technical drawing and in quick, neat writing. They have also been used for fine-art drawing. Since they do not have to be sharpened, they are also very popular with students. Mechanical pencils were first used in the 1700s, with many designs patented in the 1800s and 1900s.
