Brown & Bigelow And William Ingersoll

I just posted a blog entry at The Leadhead's Pencil Blog about an interesting advertising piece:

In the course of researching it, I found that I had made an error in The Catalogue of American Mechanical Pencils - and I discovered the information I needed to fill in the holes here on FPN. I had assumed that the Ingersoll in Ingersoll Redipoint was the same Ingersoll of Dollar Pen fame, but I learned here that it was actually Charles' Brother, William Ingersoll, who joined Brown and Bigelow to make Ingersoll Redipoint.

 

Thanks for the great info! To look at the blog, the link is just below.
