Have you ever wondered why many pencils have a small eraser attached to their back inside a metal ring?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is widely reported that Hymen Lipman introduced the pencil with an attached eraser in the 1850s and later patented the idea. He reportedly sold the patent rights to Joseph Reckendorfer for $100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
