admin2 August 9, 2011 No Comments on Who invented the Pencil? In the year 1795, a man named N. J. Conte invented pencils. These pencils were prepared of graphite that had been ground with certain types of muds, pressed into sticks, and fired in a furnace. This technique is the basis for the fabrication of all types of pencils available today.
The first American pencil sharpener was patented by Walter K. Foster of Bangor, Maine in 1855. Electric pencil sharpeners for offices have been made since at least 1917. They now come in a wide array of colors and shapes. It is common for traditional sharpeners to have a case around them to collect the shavings.
