<p>The Leadhead's Pencil Blog began in 2011 as an online update service for the author's first book The Catalogue of American Mechanical Pencils. It is now a standalone resource for vintage and antique mechanical pencils currently featuring 1200 articles. This Volume picks up where Volume I left off and includes original research extensive images and patent drawings for the second full year of the blog covering "The Big Four" of pencils - Wahl Eversharp Eagle Autopoint and Sheaffer - as well as other highly collectible brands such as Tri-Pen's Triad W.S.
