RARE 1926 EVERSHARP CURVED GLASS WOOD METAL STORE SLANT LOCKING DISPLAY CASE. This is a one of a kind rare EVERSHARP DISPLAY CASE for that serious collector to display as an exhibit. This display case was in my grandparents front store counter area with other pens and pencils and then packed away with some other display items.

It has a locking slant back with 2 separate display units that hold 24 pens each. The slant top is on hinges and works very smoothly.

The case highlights a beautiful curved beviled glass showcase front with no flaws along with a wooden base with brass sides and front. This unit has the original EVERSHARP name probably the last to be made before the change to WAHL-EVERSHARP in 1920's. It measures 20" high by 18" wide by 10 deep.

It is in excellent condition with great graphics on the front marcee header. The company was started by Charles Rood Keeran. He applied for a patent on the pencil on October 10, 1913 and was granted US patent 1,130,741 on March 9, 1915. The first production Eversharp pencils were made in New Jersey by Heath.

A prominent provider of high quality metalwork to the writing equipment industry. These pencils were test-marketed over the holiday season of 1913 at Wanamaker. S in New York City. Shortly thereafter, Keeran moved his base of operations back to Illinois. In October 1915, Keeran signed a contract with the Wahl Adding Machine Company.

Of Chicago to manufacture Eversharp pencils. Keeran retained a small stake in the combined firm and held the position of sales manager, but by the end of 1917 Keeran had been squeezed out of the company. The Eversharp pencil was a huge success.

Somewhat confusingly, the Wahl Pen Company used the Wahl name for its pens and the Eversharp name for its pencils. At the end of the 1920s, however, the company renamed itself Wahl-Eversharp, and all products, pens and pencils alike, were marked accordingly. In 1941 the company renamed itself yet again, this time as Eversharp. It remained a major player throughout the 1940s, but a series of missteps in its attempts to enter the then-new field of ballpoint pens hurt the company badly. In 1957 the Parker Pen Company acquired Eversharp.

The Eversharp name was used for a time, but within a few years the production of Eversharp pens and pencils had come to an end.
