The Wahl Eversharp, a popular propelling pencil, has a history rooted in the early 20th century. Charles Rood Keeran, a native of Bloomington, Illinois, is credited with inventing the Eversharp in 1913. He initially contracted with the Geo W Heath Co. for production, followed by a partnership with the Wahl Adding Machine Co. in Chicago. By 1915, Wahl gained controlling interest in the Eversharp company, leading to the name change to "Wahl-Eversharp".
